Just got mine last week in PC Express SATA 100gb HD Seagate. Here is the thing, my notebook is just less than a year and the HD gave up. Brought it to Toshiba and they say that the parts are unavailable. Went down our building to check on PC Express and they have the Seagate on hand. The technician removed the Toshiba HD and guess what, made in the Philippines. It is just unfortunate that it is locally unavailable and we need to order overseas. How ironic isnt it. I just found out HDs are very sensitive to shocks and my notebook just got a previous stomping, hence the breakage.

Btw, bought the Seagate for P3300.

if you're using a laptop as your primary means for computing, i suggest you always back up your data in a separate HDD...laptops are mobile devices while hard disk are mechanical in nature thus it is prone to shocks.

tumitingin tingin din ako sa tipidpc ng portable HDD para sa sarili ko kaso puro 3 months warranty lang kahit bnew eh, parang nakakatakot. I need to back up my data sa desktop nmin, nahihirapan na kse ako itago ung mga "collection" ko e, nagu umapaw na, lapit na mapuno hard disk ng desktop ehehe

Acronis True Image is useful in backing up your laptop's harddrive.

How do use Acronis? It came preinstalled in my laptop but I've never used it. I'm planning on upgrading my harddrive so need to figure it out.

I recently saw a 160GB Western Digital laptop drive selling for 2900 pesos only. Sobrang mura! Cheaper than most 120GB drives. 1 year warranty daw. Almost bought it pero nagdalwang isip ako at baka may catch.

Advice naman should I buy it or not?
