Korean brand. Just bought a 160gig for 125,000. They have larger sizes too.
Saw a fair number of them in Costco. Don't remember the brand name. |
2.5 or 3.5?
I just searched...3.5's w/ enclosures are a little over 50,000, 2.5's 60,000 (160g). Sure u didn't buy two for that price? 
BTW, 3.5 500g w/ enclosures are going for as little as 90,000.  |

Good luck w/ those 3.5 160g's....if they were 2.5's you'd have no problem selling but I don't think many will be interested in 3.5 160g's unless ur gonna let them go for dirt cheap. |
What is a 1tb ? is it 1000GB ? - Didn't know they existed - would love to buy one (or two)
Oh the 160GB's - I will probably throw all 5 in the trash.... |

I just bought a Seagate 500gb for 130,000 from gmarket.
This is my first external hard drive. How do you guys use it best? Should I keep what I want to use on a day to day basis on the internal, and storage on the external?? |

| I bought a 500GB 7600RPM Samsung HDD and a USB external hard-case seperate from the computer building in Yongsan (the one with the big Gigabyte banner outside) for 120,000, they even put it together. Will be returning for a Terabyte in a bit. However cost-wise per gigabyte the terabyte is usually not as worth it over the 500GB. Also, Costco has an external terabyte for about 329,000, boxed and ready to go. |

| Yeah sounds about right. The case is ok, no fan but I do not have it running constantly usually only for loading onto my PC and backing up, otherwise I would go a bit better especially in this humidity a fan is rather a good idea. And thanks on the speed, 7200RPM, figured I was close enough without checking what I was talking about |

Yep, they have them at Costco. The Western Digital 1TB, can't remember the price since I'm not needing one yet. |

Just to keep you updated -
I passed throught Singapore airport on Sunday and bought 2 x 1tb external hardrives for 220,000won each...
they both come with free "System Mechanic" + "Search + Recover 4" and both have "Firewire" + "E-sata" - although I do not know what they are...
they are running well (using a Singapore-Korean 110~240volt adaptor...) |
