Sadly WD Green has some issues. Go for WD Black by increasing another 2k.

Can't spend more.Saving money to buy 22" inch monitor.Already posted the question regarding monitor in tv/monitor section...
Seems WD is out of the league..Either Seagate or Toshiba..

Seagate takes time of 20-1month for replacement of defected product..The thing is if it persists,1 month is lot of time to wait :\...Don't know about Toshiba.
My friend has Toshiba external drive,using it from past 2years no problem at all...Is there any significant difference between internal and external drive?

Then get the Seagate 2TB SATA 6 Gbps HDD with 64MB Cache. This model comes with 2 years of warranty and better than both the Toshiba and WD Green HDD. price will be around 6.2K.

B. Where do you get these kind of prices from?

If you want to use the HDD for storage, get an external unit, else buy 1TB WD black WD1002FAEX, for 5.8k with 5 yrs warranty.

techPowerUp! Forums - View Single Post - An experiment.. new Seagate 2tb vs old WD black 1tb

Seagate will lose sales because of such low warranty periods. Bad marketing strategy despite good products.

The very best in performance , reliability and after sales service Toshiba DT01ACA200 , 2TB 64MB buffer - Rs 5850 and 3 years warranty. No Seagate or WD offers that. It is faster than a Seagate Barracuda XT and a lot faster than the WD Green.

Who provides service for Toshiba? I think Rashi right, confirm this, one more reason to stay away from Toshiba if this is true.


Ah yes rashi: Product

Ans: My bad.I gave warranty for WD Red HDD's.
B. Where do you get these kind of prices from?

Ans: Arun Computers,CTC,Hyderabad.

If you want to use the HDD for storage, get an external unit, else buy 1TB WD black WD1002FAEX, for 5.8k with 5 yrs warranty.

You can go for 1TB Black for 5.5k & 2TB Black for 8k with 5 years warranty at Arun Computers. Ask for Mr.Raghu.

You mean 2TB Black, the new model, the one with the 64MB cache? That is the FAEX model, the older FALS model had 32MB cache and a lot slower.

You are acting like a Troll and spreading very wrong information off late and its not helping anyone. If we go by your theory we should stop buying Asus,AMD,Logitech,APC,LG,Sandisk,Leadtek,HP and Lenovo since they are all supported by Rashi in one or many products. Be a bit more responsible when you type or post something. Think or look before you just post at random.I know you want your posts to reach 10,000,but hey you are not being any help.

No support company has been perfect. If you know of one please let me know. When you say something, not anything which you do, support it with some valid points and conclusions. Every body has a fault here and there. That dosnt make us privileged to take them for granted and just label them forever.

Okay, looks like you don't know much about Rashi, specially in kolkata, ask anyone who purchased an XFX 8600GT, or 9400Gs type card, it went to such extreme that Asus had to ditch rashi and go to Digilink, rashi is still the reason we don't buy xfx in kolkata.

Looks like you know nothing about anything.Nobody buys XFX anyways, because of the cheap quality they meted out to customers from 2007 onwards. The cheap SACON FZ ( have you even heard of them) capacitors they got from China and passed them off ass Solid State looking Electrolytic Caps which blew up in no Time. Had they been using stuff from ,Rubycon,Nichicon,Samxon Capacitors, all over they wouldnt have gone that bad. And there was the XFX heating up issue on some cards too. Know things first in details before posting at random.

This very SACON FZ spelled doom for EVGA too !! ( Ah now you know !!!):twisted:

Nobody could help XFX apart from XFX. Thats why not only in "Kolkata" but people shy away from XFX cards around the world, even today. Clear?

Here you are talking all BAD abot Rashis service and in the other thread you are going ga ga over Logitech Keyboard whish is also ASSd by Rashi.!!! AMazing.

Read the thread, both neoteric and rashi imports logitech, and you can get kb from either one of them, and again read the other thread, neoteric will service rashi items, at least in kolkata they do, and third, no, nobody buys XFX due to rashi and rashi alone, not due to Capacitors, as 99% people including me didn't have knowledge about these capacitors as I never looked at a xfx card after my 5850.

And finally, evga? IDK, they are still one of the most trusted brands in USA, afaik one of the only two brands getting the titan, and I have a GTS250 Super OC'ed from evga, still running fine after 4-5yrs I think, so your argument is rendered invalid about EVGA.

Only on motherboards or cheaper cards, did they use scaon on high end cards as well?


PS: Enough OT, lets skip this for now, OP can get whatever he wants, to conclude.

A. WD(Red, blue or black).
B. Toshiba(good, check with service).
C. Hitachi(good but have doubts with actual service provider, don't know whoh that is)
D. Seagate(Check to see if the warranty is 2 yrs, else don't go for it.)

Most reliable is WD Black, 5yrs warranty, 64MB cache, FAEX model.

Seagate and WD green has/had the highest failure rates. Seagate's service is as bad as it can be.And both WD and Seagate comes with 1 year warranty. So I see the risk somewhere else.

I don't think anyone suggesting Toshiba, have really used it or have experience of RMA.

Toshiba HDDs have 2 years of warranty, and so does Seagate newer models.

WD 1TB Black at your budget and be happy.

I should tell again to you that you need to think more before posting here.
Simple google search and living in the world of your dream won't do any good for you.
There is difference between the search results from google & the real world scenario. Step outside, feel it, before accusing senior members one after another for posting wrong info, and acting like an over-smart IKNOWITALL guy.

Hey, heard the good news, apparently wd also has one year warranty, look at last page. :D :D

For which drive? WD Green?

Hey! Hey! Please Stop Friends,bullying amongst each others. As @d6bmg and @tkin are right so you are correct @The Incinerator.Please Friends,nothing personal here. Everybody is giving their views,based upon facts.Sometimes they may be little dated,but it does not harm one's way(at least not A Life & Death situation).

It's OP's budget and choice and Ultimate decision which HDD he will buy,based upon the conversation he read.So why we should be prejudiced or biased.

Look Friends, I am using a XFX HD4650GDDR2 GPU since 2010 Feb.,without any problems.XFX is crapware for many or almost all people.It was my strict budget and the absence of other brand manufacturer cards(those present were beyond my budget at that time)that I had to reckon with.But as it is ME who is using; it's completely my RISK my RESPONSIBILITY my LIABILTY,isin't it?
Does it harm anyone else except me?

When Helping others and providing facts,you all are giving your +ve as well as -ve feedback/reviews,which is the most important for OP and all the members.
But creating a commotion amongst ourselves,defeats the purpose of this co-operation and Help,those who require them.

I am in no #Ranking Contest as far as information about this thread is concerned...take it easy @Friends.

No one did anything, it all started when incinerator here started making false accusations that WD carried one year warranty, lets say we overlooked that, and the OP bought it, then later on he'll blame the forums for giving him false suggestions, he said WD has 1 yr and toshiba has 3 yrs, so toshiba is superior "hardware :|

I was talking about availability. Like If I want one will I get one or not? The Answer is Yes I can get one. Now Secondly will I get service for it? Yes I will. So thats what matters to a consumer who wants one. Thats what I meant.

WD has 2 years warranty , I think every human is eligible for a Typo.But correcting the poster on the typo has a proper way and method,and flaming aint one of them.tkin shouldnt have posted "STOP POSTING CRAP" Not right.

@tkin, I think OP is not a child ,such that if failure occurs after he buys a product ,he will blame the Forum members.It's the suggestions and advice of Forum members(experts like you and others...)which will surely Help him to a great extent in making purchasing decisions. BUT THE FAILURE OF A PRODUCT DOES NOT REST WITH THE FORUM MEMBERS OF TDF.It can happen to any brand manufacturer of Hardware. A little(THOUGH MOST IMPORTANT) bit Luck Factor comes into play here,we should admit. No SUPREME product is Fail-Proof.
At least I see no fault of yours...and you are HUMBLE/GENEROUS enough to come to a break.:-o

No worry get WD 2tb for 5.6k at ebay

Model wd20ezrx which is too gud and its fine for warranty of 2years

As per my view good speed of 150MB/s with other external USB 3.0 Drives and usb 2.0 as usual 50-60mb and from SSD to this drive atleast 180-200 mb that too gud.

Small files ranging from 20-100 mb in any drives.Excellent for the money i would say. USe the given coupon code to reduce the price or pm me.

Why are you suggesting green? It has reliability issues, only useful for storage purposes.

Well I don't want to start the flame wars again but rashi sucks big time. I remember how it took them about two months to replace my Asus motherboard & only after I called them up numerous times & even went to their office to yell at them. They operate like a government office. I promised myself then & there that I would never even touch Asus again.

Btw, I'm also on the lookout for a 2 TB HDD, completely for storage purposes. I am thinking of buying an external powered HDD, instead of the portable one as I won't be moving it around. Is this a good option or should I stick to internal as that would be cheaper ?

Go for powered drives, costs a lot less and usually more reliable due to the fact you don't need to move it too much.
