For 7.2k rpm 2.5" notebooks hdds u can try and find in lowyat plaza, but bear in mind that 7.2krpm hdds are much more expensive than 5.4k one. for 160gb 7.2k u can get 250gb 5.4k,just my 2 cents.

anyway, for raid 0 , how to backup the files in hdd since the hdd is running in raid 0?
*
for the 7200rpm is more suitable for used on laptop rather than used as external usb purpose.

about the wd 640GB HD --- this is my suggestion ....

DON'T BUY IT !!!

I bought one when it baru came out, within weeks, HD starts to behave strangely.

Upon checking -- BAD SECTORS !!

C'mon la ! Bad sectors??

This is supposed to be a "perpendicular recording" drive, and still bad sectors?

what do you guys think bout the reliability of the Seagate Baracuda and Western Digital HDD?

previously when i was hunting for a reliable HDD, the IT guy in my company told me that most of the consumer hdd is not really reliable for 24/7 usage....when i asked further, he recommended my to go for the Seagate SV.35 series which is for Surveillance Video.....due to the fact that my company is a distributor for CCTV, they have tested quite a no of HDD in the market for reliability and after all these years, the most reliable hdd they have tested is the SV.35 series....i have also seen quite a no of Western D and Baracuda series coming in for RMA after 1-2 years of usage...

this really makes me wonder if the normal consumer hdd is reliable enough to last for bout 3-4 years operation because i have quite a no of movies n songs saved in it.....what do you guys think?

sv35 for ide or sata? as my lowyat fren advise me not to go for sv35 as it got a high percentage of failure rate compare wit other model of seagate. doh.gif now duno should go for nl or es series, or just go for wd ler. sad.gif
