Maybe not the right place but, I would be reviewing this. No prize for guessing how many case designs from other brands were used in this!

how's seagate barracuda 2TB drives?
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM001) - Seagate: Flipkart.com

I have never owned a seagate drive since i never liked seagate and many people are reporting that seagate drives are DOA or dies within a few days.

is the review up on your website ? or any hint on what cabinet is this ? ;-)

aaah I got this mail 2 weeks ago but I told them to put it on standby. Now, atleast a part of my workload is slightly reduced, so I could afford time enough to do this review.

What cabinet is this? Well, FROM THE MAKERS....err...RE-LABELLERS OF BIJLI 2 :-D. But by the rough looks of it, looks like zebby boys have given bit more thought. I seriously hope this is good considering the MRP tag raises my eyebrows at the very least.

There are many people who reported DOA on WD as well. It depends more on the model/rev/firmware in certain cases. You need to see that, not just the brand name alone.

thanks, does it worth buying a 2years old used WD black for 7-7.5k?

or should i buy Seagate barracuda 2tb st2000dm001 and ignore the reports of buyers complaining DOA/faulty disk.

I think it absolutely worth it if the HDD is in physically good condition and has no bad sectors .. with 7k you still have 3 years warranty with good performance of Black HDD but before making the purchase just be sure about it's remaining warranty period using the s/n.
 
I would always prefer WD over segate. WD Cavier black HDDs are fast and have 5 years of warranty. But warranty cannot save your data if HDD is damanged because of some reason

Price checks for Roccat Kave, and Corsair Vengeance 1500, Steelseries Siberia V2 please.

MD is quoting ~ Rs 7000 for Kave. Did prices go up this high in 2-3 months? I remember Kave was 5K-ish.
 
This is Insane. Arctic Silver AS5 is insanely priced. 5 years ago I purchased this from Lamington road for 350 bucks and now its priced more than 1000 bucks in Ebay. WTF?
