I am also interested. Hey Eazy! Any discounts from Gulbir for his friends' friends?

Any discounts from Gulbir for his friends' friends?

Gulbir hardly gives me a discount

Everytime I ask he says "I have a margin of only 50/- on each piece of hardware" :no:

Thank GAWD he has kept reasonably low prices on his web site !! Today he was saying that he is thinking about giving a lower price for online purchases, I think we guys waste too much of their time crying for lower prices.

I bought the same HDD for 2750 around 2 months back ...(SMC)

err will the hard disk work on the old SATA I ports to be precise the SATA port on intel 865 gbf ??

and will the performance decrease ?

 

[Ravi_D]

^^SATA interface is developed to be backward compatible always so even sataIII or sataIV will be sataI compatibel but they will work at the speeds of sataI.

Don't worry though actual realtime results have shown that sataII is just 7-10% better than sataI.

i too need one 250 gb HDD..looking for the same model as above (ie-ST3250310AS)

anyone knows a dealer or someone who will give us a good discount if buy 4-5 pieces ??Prime is selling it for 2825 ..anyone with a better price ..try arranging a GO naah ??

Is this HDD faster than the Western Digital Raptor ADFD 150 GB???

 

[sydras]

Is this HDD faster than the Western Digital Raptor ADFD 150 GB???

I guess it would offer comparable sequential read and write speeds due to the fact that it is a single platter with PMR. So essentially, more data comes under the read/write head. But PMR drives have inherently slow seek(time taken to position HDD head over data for read).

Faster seek would only make a difference in extremely fragmented volumes in my opinion. The other benefits the 250GB offers are lower power consumption, more capacity and less price.

Why not get 410AS model..??

i wish it was available in mumbai!!!

Pm me if anyone selling this model here! Do quote a price too
