Western Digital External Hard Drives
Portait

Well some time back I went to a hanoi electronics expo and saw a booth/store that sold Western Digital External Hard Drives. I of course lost the card for the store.

Anyone see some one that sells the big desktop units of these. I'm looking for 500GB to 2 TB.

Thanks!

You can try Tran Anh computer, I think they have hard drives which are 500GB or more. It's one of the best companies in Hanoi.
Addresses:
HQ: #1174 - Lang road - Dong Da dist.
Tel: (04) 7.666.666; Fax: (04) 7.667708

IT equipments supermarket: #292 Tây Sơn st.- Dong Da dist.
Tel: (04) 537. 6666; Fax: (04) 537.5324


I'm a bit surprised because in Vietnam they only sell computer parts from China or Taiwan even the brands are of many countries.
You're sure about the quality, aren't you?

As virezo suggests, Tran Anh Computer does have this HD:

best advice, do it yourself. no, really! i did it once for an external HD and it's very easy to do.

You just buy a casing that have the firewire interface/connectivity + a HD of your choice and off you go.

most shop will do it for you if you are not confident. but i assure you that in 99% case it's just a matter of a Philips crew driver and 10 minutes of your time.

If you want something good looking and that has firewire, i know the Apple shop on Kim Ma has external casings for sale that has the G5 brush metallic look.

A real geek friend of mine showed me once and the bottom line is that my external HD cost me a fraction of what you normally pay for an already made one.

And the good thing, you know you can change the HD easily and have the one you want inside.
