WD10EACS GreenPower 1TB = RM372

but it is 4plate version

the latest one is 333g plate (x3) , old is 250g (x4)

new one less power..

WD10EACS-00D6B0 (3plate) @RM420 bought last month~
WD10EACS-00ZJB0 (4plate)

Compare WD10EACS 1TB

WD10EACS-00ZJB0 (Sept '08), WD10EACS-00D6B0 (July '08),

WDC_WD10EACS_00D6B0

WD Advanced Format drives are specifically optimized for Mac and the latest Windows operating systems such as Windows Vista and Windows 7 with a clean install. Advanced Format Technology is being adopted by WD and other drive manufacturers to increase media format efficiency, thus enabling larger drive capacities.

Your WD Advanced Format hard drive may require you to run the WD Align software utility after you install your operating system or partition and format the drive as a secondary drive. WD Align software aligns partitions on the Advanced Format drive to ensure it provides full performance for certain configurations. (Please see table for configuration details)
