QUOTE(ar188 @ Jan 30 2009, 07:01 PM) haha! true.. USD299 (should be retail price) for 2TB ain't exactly cheap.. maybe malaysia will have cheaper "Installer" pricing.. Still buy seagate somemore... Added on January 30, 2009, 7:14 pmtoday I went to buy 1more WD 1TB but, instead went for a new stock (datecode 09XXX) Seagate 1.5TB.. couldn't help it.. went to check online... it says below.. (dunno true or not, new stock end dec/early jan09 also not affected??.. I tot they only fixed the firmware on around 21-22nd JAN?? ) SNo Serial number Result Action 1 9VS0XXXX Drive is not affected. No action required.  Only time will tell whether it has no problem or not |

I thought hard disk, processor, RAM are non nego. What you got when you get 2 1TB? did you see 7200.12, or any SV35 or ES.2? Thanks.

I bought 7200.12 today. Checked at seagate website, warranty ended at 2 Jan 2014. So, 5 years covered.
Actually i want to buy WD Blue (Green only 5400 RPM...eco hard disk  ), but all shops at digital mall, only sell high capacity green WD or very low capacity Blue WD. Most shop still sell Seagate 7200.11 except All IT which sell 7200.12 (this model use 500 GB per plate oppose to 320GB per plate as in previous model). Gather up my nerve and put RM190 for this hard disk. Hopefully not firmware probs ..... <pray hard> Just for general info - WD warranty : 3 years. Ironically, I need to buy this 500GB hard disk is because my old WD 250GB hard disk (2 years and 11 months, PC mostly 24-7) already almost died. Seagate Baracuda 7200.9 in the other hand still in its perfect shape (I use Hard Disk Sentinel Pro to evaluate my hdds health). Both HDD bought in the same month. Tomorrow, I will call WD hotline number to claim warranty.. This post has been edited by expertester: Feb 1 2009, 05:57 PM |
