2 weeks ago, i met up wif daniel n we went pcshow at suntec to look for ext hdd. couldnt make up my mind which brand to get. i prefer maxtor/seagate since both comes wif 5yrs warranty n they're essentially e same thing n i've been using seagate drives all my life (quantum = maxtor = seagate). but sadly, e maxtor n seagate drives are fugly.

in e end, i got myself a 500gb wd mybook wif 3yrs warranty only for slightly more at $199.99. daniel got himself a 250gb maxtor onetouch 4 mini.

got home n fired it up. realised that it perfectly matches my desktop's colour scheme of black wif blue light. n it's a very silent drive too. whose book? mybook. woot! =P
