WD their drives last for very long.


what a bias statement. how many hardisk u own? Seagate or WD same same rah.. I got 4Tb and 6Tb Hdd...All WDD.. all die within 1 year... how now brown cow?Is your 2tb drive thicker than usual?
I'm looking for those slim ones, 9.5mm ones - to remove it for notebook use. So far, only Seagate sells it. Then again, Seagate has bought over Samsung HDD. so not sure if the Samsung 2tb is the slim one.
maybe have to wait for period nearer to PC shows, then Fairprice or Giant will price their HDD chepaer than SLS~![]()
Do all these budget portable hdd come with security software to encrypt the contents?
Do be careful with these encrypt software, possible to lock up if you can't recall the password!

My M3 uses the Samsung Spinpoint/Seagate Momentus drive ST2000LM005 HN-M201AAD which is 9.5mm. Exactly what you are looking for.![]()
Thanks for he feedback.
If it falls below $100, I will hoot one to see whether it has SATA 3 connectors.
The WDC portable HDDs SATA3 ports have been replaced with USB3.
