Hardware price list/spec sheet

[Krow]

^I didnt know that! I thought GDDR5 was more power-efficient than GDDR3!

If I need an HDD which I want for backup and also for carrying with me for trips, which one would you guys recommend. I am talking about 1TB HDD's. I mean there is the WD MyBook 1TB for abt 5-6k, which seems to be good, is that the better option or is the 2.5" pocket hdd better?

 

[desiibond]

don't go for external 3.5" hdd. It's pretty heavy to hold. better go for a 2.5" HDD only.

 

[Krow]

How about build quality? Which one is sturdier?

 

[desiibond]

2.5" one should be stronger, thanks to it's tiny size. I dropped a 2.5" hdd twice and nothing happened

 

[Krow]

That sounds good. But from what height did you drop and where did it fall(just curious)? eSATA - does it have any real world performance difference over USB? I mean like a large difference.

 

[desiibond]

from my desk. never used eSATA and it should have much better speed than USB.

Okay! Thanks for the help. Any idea when the 2.5" 1TB's are arriving in India? My friend just got WD My Book Essential 1TB. I wanted to have a more portable one. The 2.5" ones are too expensive now! 5.5k for 500GB is not exactly what i call VFM.

 

[desiibond]

^^of course they are costly and they are much better because

1) lot lighter than 3.5" enclosures
2) doens't need external power
3) stronger than 3.5" HDD casings
4) easy to carry (you can even put them in your pocket)

But unless u have no alternative, then u can get the passport. Else internal HDD 1B from Seagate @ 4.4k only



Nope, it's:

DDR1>DDR2>GDDR3>GDDR4>GDDR5

where does DDR3 fit ?

Thanks a lot for the help! I'll wait for the 1TB's to arrive then(any idea when?). Then I will be able to buy the 3.5" 500GB ones as they will be cheaper.

It is. Have you forgotten the meaning or >(greater than) or <(less than) ????
GDDR5 is half the power of GDDR3, almost.

Well, I prefer Seagate, for it's superb read/write speeds(leaves WD in the dust).

 

[Krow]

^Damn! My eyes are playing tricks with me...

You mean Seagate FreeAgent Go Extreme?
