My existing HDD 250Gb WD Blue (5 yrs old).. is not being detected by the bios.
Plaining to purchase a new one
3.5" HDD - 1 TB - Lowest cost and wht will be the max. warranty I can get.
Which brack should i go for ... Seagate or WD .. which one is more reliable ??

(the ITDEPOT, THE ITEWARES, deltapage)

Can anyone tell me the actual market price in mumbai ?

MOD: sry for posting in wrong section, pls move the post to Storage Section.

AH

wrong section :lol:

get WD Blue 1TB ~3.8k.

opt for WD blue 1tb. it is available for 3.8k and comes with 2 years of warranty. if you can get wd black 1 tb for 5.5k, then go ahead with it as it offers 5 years of warranty. wd is good at rma than seagate.

7200rpm, sata 6.0gbps, 64mb cache. WD Blue is the best VFM HDD, i myself bought it a month ago

Not to mention, better warranty

no need to worry about specs much. if you have the budget, simply get wd black else wd blue.

wait for Blue, Green is slow and hence not recommended as primary HDD. Or you can order online

it is difficult to get wd blue on some places, i dont know why. you however ask any shopkeeper to bring the blue version or you can talk to the distributor!

i have finalized WD Blue Internal Hard Disk for my DG-33 TL Intel Motherboard

after confirming this model at various places in my city (City-Yamunanagar state-Haryana) every shop keeper is saying this model is not coming in market you can purchase either PURPLE or GREEN WD ......

My Internal Hard Disk of my Desktop has crashed recently and I wanted to purchase a new Internal Hard disk.
Earlier I was using Seagate Sata based hard disk and after much review I have finalised WESTERN DIGITAL WD 10EZEX Blue Hard Disk for my destop.
Problem is that it is not available in my area and everyone telling that this BLUE WD drive is out of stock(City Yamunanagar State Haryana).
I will be going to delhi next week and may be find it out at NEHRU PALACE.
Please confirm also regarding blue and black drives as I have heard black is a little bit better not much when comparison with blue drive.
Please provide some genuine and reliable shops to whom I can contact for WESTERN DIGITAL 1TB Drive .
Thanks!!in advance

wd blue is still in stock. some distributors keeps green drives at stock and that is why this 'shortage'. black is better than blue. and blue is better than green. get black if you have the budget since it has 5 years of warranty. else blue.

why dont you buy it online??
