    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" :lol:

    How much is the 1TB 32MB you saw?

    well, the 32mb cache most likely is the Black Caviar..confirming it later or by wednesday i guess :thumb: i saw it cheaper by RM5 which is 430 :p..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.

    Oops, I just found out that Caviar GP series also has 32MB cache. :p

    zy: black is the the model name, it's not because the drive is physically black. :p

    According to lacus they will not be bringing in Black because they are too expensive like RM600+ :confused:

    Maybe I will just get a WD 640GB and be happy :haha:
