WD Caviar Black

Max_87 · 12th Oct 2008, 02:22 PM

I can't seem to find this drive here, even until now.

Has anyone here seen this drive in retail?

Even the 1TB 32MB is not Caviar Black?

Oh so there is a WD 1TB 32MB? Then it's probably a Caviar Black.

My friend actually asked around in lowyat plaza last week (he asked for a Caviar Black), but the shop said they don't have it. It's either they don't know the existence of Caviar Black or it's really not available. Maybe he should've asked "Do you sell WD 1TB 32MB" instead of "Do you sell Caviar Black"

How much is the 1TB 32MB you saw?

I didn't see it for myself. It's on compuzone's price list. RM435.

well, the 32mb cache most likely is the Black Caviar..confirming it later or by wednesday i guess

i saw it cheaper by RM5 which is 430

..normal 1tb going for 390 while the black caviar (most likely is) is going for RM430.

Worth the extra RM40 over the GP if you want performance instead of lower noise.

1TB DRIVE FOR RM435!!!?

wow! that's a lot cheaper than Sim Lim

Lacus · 13th Oct 2008, 11:05 AM

if not mistaken, thats the black caviar...hmm,the old 1tb is GP? if for storing data is it worthy to get the GP drive?

You haven't seen the 1TB GP for just RM390.

Before bargain. It's already a bargain LMAO.
