Guys,

M$ is still not saying when they will ship my console. I have emailed Mohit but after taking my ref no and all even he hasn't gotten back.

 

What the f**k is happening to my console is all i wanna know ?

I spoke to M$ on Monday and emailed them yesterday. They normally get back pretty soon on the email, almost like the next day

 

P.S - My dad's best friend is a very good lawyer, should i start the legal proceedings ?

Guys, i need some advice on buying a dedicated external and internal hdd.

 

I have my eyes set on WD (320 GB): http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=387.

And if things go as planned i might go for an internal hdd as well, probably any size bigger than 400GB from WD again.

What do you guys think?

^ i purchased a usb 2.0 casing for 2.5" ide drives from ebay for 300 bucks (including shipping) - quick, easy and cheap way to convert any old laptop HDD into an external drive.

ps: you can do the same for a 3.5" drive as well - buy a usb 2.0 SATA casing for 3.5" drives and you're set.

Avoid using external USB casings for SATA drives. The controller chips for these casings are cheap knockoffs from China. While they are pretty reliable for PATA drives, the SATA to USB controller chips in these casings have a plethora of issues including, random loss of USB connectivity, random slow downs in transfer rates, frequent failures and disk corruption.

If you want a cheap, quiet and reliable drive with a five year warranty, go for the Seagate Freeagent Desktop.

Although these drives dont come with Firewire connectivity, their USB 2.0 performance is blazing fast and they are priced very competitively. I picked up the 320GB model 6 months ago for INR 6K.

I agree i bought 160 GB Freeagent Go for 7k smtime eback with 5 yrs warranty. its really good and reliable.

 

 

2 months back i got Western Digital's 500 GB External Hard drive (My Book Essential) for Rs.6800 in Bangalore. Totally worth the price & good performance, so far no problems at all!!!

That was a steal deal, I was gettin 160 GB of same Western Digital here 4 7k.
