HygieneSetsco SG just wondering, who is able to tell me what do i look out for, when buying a HDD, besides the obvious ones, like size, and capacity? and does anyone have a good HDD to recommend? looking for one around $120 i'm considering anyone of the links above, can help vote which one you think is the best? http://www.mocca.com/portal/site/CAS/menuitem.e1d4ecd31452005046c4c2911e1000a0/?vgnextoid=dc0b2ffb2eb91110VgnVCM100000e101000aRCRD&vgnextfmt=clsId%3A202840&indResultMap=SearchResultPage http://www.pacificpaper.com.sg/it_products.html http://www.hardwarezone.com.sg/marketplace/view.php?cid=281&id=114391 thanks!
abao SG What do you want your HDD to be? I see no need for HDD that can play videos. A 3.5 inch HDD is a good addition if you need extra space at home. Nowadays 250GB are also cheap. A 2.5 inch HDD is much more portable, but comes at the expense of a slower data transfer rate. 80GB cost below $100 i think. Just go to Sim Lim square and ask those computer shop experts there. They will give you a good deal
HygieneSetsco SG wow, thanks so much for your in depth explanation. play videos? i just want it to be a storage thing, probably be able to hold videos too do you have any specific ones that you'll recommend? After hearing so many horror stories of SLS, i scared of every shop there liao = X
manyu882 SG if you want a really portable one i suggest u take the 160gb 2.5'' hdd with enclosure @$128 checkout in video pro http://www.videopro.com.sg/getdata.php?id=171 the ones u showed me are the ones not so portable costhey require an additional external power supply
abao SG This is more of an urban legend :S If you scared then go to the more reputable stores like Bell, Fuwell or Bizgram lor. I havent encountered any scamming so far in Sim Lim anyways.
LatecomerX SG I think they only scam tourists. So if you look like an ang moh, get a SG geek-looking friend to go with you.
ndmmxiaomayi SG They don't scam just foreigners hor. If you know nothing, be prepared to be tok. Some shops think you look like you know nothing about tech... so will try to fool you. Particularly those selling cameras and selling laptops.
