I am in the market for a 250 gigger. probably go with a samsung SP2504C. Really found this drive to be great. runs pretty cool too. Sorry to OT, but is there a group of TE'ites going to lammy soon? Wouldn't mind...

Hey any of you guys got ne idea, as to the seagate's available here are made in Singapore or China? cause I read a lot of complaints regarding the ones made in China.

 

[stormblast]

99% it is going to be chinese made. any link to the so called problems u are refering to?

You referring to the StorageReview forum thread? No issues.. go read the entire thing.. it's a serial number issue, IIRC.

I'm thinking of picking one too i might. this 40 gig is just not enuff.
wd has 5 years warranty or three?
i duno if it will be right to go for the 7200.10 series .. hope they dont have hidden flaws or stuffs.

throw away that old 40 gigger... good riddance I say. Only reason for a 40 gigger is if you're using linux or something and need a discrete HDD

Wokay! XFactor and I will be coming together. BTW, where are we buying the hdds from? Or do we check prices in a few shops?

 

[TechHead]

^I have the dealer's number and address, but we will check at multiple sources as well.

Picked up the drive for 5150 @ Prime. Ran into Soulfire there as well.

Long test in HDTach: Connected off the NF4 native SATA controller, with the 1.5GBPs jumper removed.

 

[zhopudey]

I haven't installed mine yet. BTW, are those scores good,bad or ugly?

 

[TechHead]

^Very good!

 

[thexfactor]

Hey guys, just installed mine, almost 700gigs now, feels gr8, gettin 65mb avg read in HDTach.

 

[MAGNeT]

techhead..wht does that connected off and something 1.5gbps jumper stuff means??????

and btw congo guys for your new disc...u 3 ppl got it?????

 

[TechHead]

^There's a jumper on the drive, which you have to remove to enable 3 GBPs operation.. if the jumper is left on, it limits the drive to 1.5GBPs ops.

Yeah, the 3 of us got it, but zhops got a PATA drive
