Previously WD have 3 and don't know about Seagate.
Now both got same 2 years.
But,Seagate is cheaper compare to WD Blue's price.
So,I think Seagate is better now.
What do u think ?
Which should go for at current situation ?
I need a 1TB internal HDD for OS and data for my primary use ?

Following are the online price thought I prefer to buy HDD locally.
SEAGATE 1TB Desktop Internal Sata Drive (ST1000DM003) - Buy SEAGATE 1TB Desktop Internal Sata Drive (ST1000DM003) Online at Low Price in India - Snapdeal
WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB Desktop SATA Blue Colour Hard Drive (10EZEX) - Buy WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB Desktop SATA Blue Colour Hard Drive (10EZEX) Online at Low Price in India - Snapdeal

Here is the WD warranty info for Asia Pacifit:

What's the difference between Component Drive & Retail Kit ?

Hold on!
This is so confusing.
Why this site showing 2 years warranty for all HDD even the WD Black ?
WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black (WESTERN DIGITAL 1002FAEX) Internal Hard Drive (1TB) - Buy WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black (WESTERN DIGITAL 1002FAEX) Internal Hard Drive (1TB) Online at Low Price in India - Snapdeal

I'm really confused.
Which one saying wright and which one is wrong ?

Hi [MENTION=39710]Revolution[/MENTION],

I agree with [MENTION=15026]topgear[/MENTION]. The warranty part is depending on the WD model you selected like WD Blue: 2 years, WD Black: 5 years and etc.

I am the master of my Fate.
How many years of warranty WD Blue HDDs have previously and how many years of warranty seagate provides on HDDs ?
when I first bought WD Blue in 2009 it was 5yrs and then reduced to 3yrs and now 2 yrs :shock:
[MENTION=39710]Revolution[/MENTION]: btw there is WD Green cheaper than Blue but I guess Blue is better than Green and I can see a purple version as well (don't know how is it)

Hi [MENTION=34930]Zangetsu[/MENTION],

For your information, any WD internal drive can be used as a storage and boot drive. In WD, there are different type of drives represented by different colors. The WD Purple drive highly recommended to use for Security purpose, but if you use as a normal drive, it will function like a normal hard drive too. The data transfer speed is same as the other hard drives, but the read and write speed is depend on the system configuration. The big difference from other HDD is that it has inbuilt function to view videos in high-definition framework. To check the specification of WD Purple, you may refer to the below link:

Thanks for ur replies ! :)

I still confused about the reason of shortage of WD Blue from local market of Kolkata. :-?
Is it really no more manufactured or any other reason ?

I know 5400RPM HDD can be used but that will be slow compare to 7200RPM.
Sadly my budget is less and I can't afford WD Black which is faster and comes with 5 years of warranty. :cry:

man those were some days .. anyway, WD back on 2011 reduced warranty on many of it HDDs to two years and seagate also followed the same path and reduced warranty to only 1 year. Later however seagate again increased warranty to 2 years.

So it's nothing new .. if you want ultimate warranty coverage then WD Black or SGT Enterprise level drives are your best bet. Otherwise WD Purple / REd also comes with 3 years of warranty which is pretty decent IMO.

When this GST comes into effect, will there be any significant effect in pricing of computer components/accessories?

GST impact across sectors: Take a look at the winners and losers - The Economic Time
I am guessing prices will increase & the difference between offline & online prices will decrease.

So if anyone thinking of buying, better don't wait till it comes into effect. I for one should get them before that.

ADVANTAGES OF GST
Apart from full allowance of credit, there are several other advantages of introducing a GST in India:

  • Possible reduction in prices: Due to full and seamless credit, manufacturers or traders do not have to include taxes as a part of their cost of production, which is a very big reason to say that we can see a reduction in prices. However, if the government seeks to introduce GST with a higher rate, this might be lost.
  • Increase in Government Revenues:This might seem to be a little vague. However, even at the time of introduction of VAT, the public revenues actually went up instead of falling because many people resorted to paying taxes rather than evading the same. However, the government may wish to introduce GST at a Revenue Neutral Rate, in which case the revenues might not see a significant increase in the short run.
  • Less compliance and procedural cost:Instead of maintaining big records, returns and reporting under various different statutes, all assessees will find comfortable under GST as the compliance cost will be reduced. It should be noted that the assessees are, nevertheless, required to keep record of CGST, SGST and IGST separately

GST will not come into effect before 1st April 2017 & that is under best possible conditions(no political logjams etc) so lot of time,no need to hurry any buying decisions.
