Yes, there should be. -
Western Digital is more reliable,if not for cheap price its Maxtor
-
my recc would be seagate.
-
If you want to get Maxtor, might as well get Seagate.
-
Oh, by the way, Western Digital has a booth. Walk in and turn right @ Level 6. It's the first booth near the exit.

From HWZ,
Maxtor 160GB HDD for $99

Obvious thing is the physical size and price.
Kindly take a look at Seagate website for the difference.

Oh.. so for portable usage, Go is better
-
But Desktop looks more worth it leh. 500gb for $165. But it's not portable or what?
-
Simply plug in the power and the USB cable and you’re ready to go.
What ya think?
It's not really that portable and you will need to find a power point, otherwise, it won't work.

This is for Go or for all of them?
-
Desktop is cheaper, cause it's a 3.5 inch hdd. 3.5 inch hdds require a power source.
Go is for people who are always on the go. they norm only require a usb cable or 2 to power it up, but most prob it can be run from a power source too
Pro is also one that requires a power source.
-
If u want price,go for Maxtor Basic 160GB,which i pointed out was $99.
So far it's performing fine for me,but there seem to be people saying that its not very reliable.

Dunno if it's on sale at IT show leh. Have to double check
-
Hmm.. now i noticed tt WD is cheaper than seagate by approx 10bucks. but it's only 3 yr warranty but seagate got 5yr warranty.

seagate 2.5 inch one requires more current ...
