Bought 1 Terabyte external hard disk

Category: General

After I start studying in MMU, I brought all my files together with my new computer. But it was a trouble some when I come back home in Sitiawan, I won’t have the files I need. I only have a 4GB pendrive to transfer files and songs from Mallaca to Sitiawan. And that pendrive is not working so efficiently while transferring files.

So I asked my dad if I could buy an external hardisk for bringing back my files and also as a backup. Immediately he said go ahead, buy it. What a good dad I have !! So I was like doing a survey on what to buy before going to LowYat. I was asking around opinions and my seniors suggested many things.

First I was trying to get a simple hardisk because I don’t need much space. So I was trying for 320GB hardisk and a cooler master casing. It costs about RM 340. Then I looked at a hard disk which cost RM 380 and its 500GB. I got interested in it and its like “wow, 500GB…”. Then I calculated the price for a 640GB hard disk with a casing and that cost about RM 410. So I decided to buy the 640 GB and I went to LowYat…

Unfortunately, the cooler master casing I wanted was not available. I did not search much because I need to rush for my bus. Finally, I asked the shop there for the price of 1 Terabyte hard disk without casing. It was RM 450 and I saw it and told that guy. I don’t want this one, I want a new one in the box. He smiled at me and brought a new one and asked me to open it. So I opened and tested and YEAH !! 1 TERABYTE !! Never even thought of it actually !!

Now, I have a 1 Terabyte Western Digital Elements external hard disk with three years warranty. These are the images of  my hard disk :
