I am looking for a 1 TB Hard disk drive for backup purpose.
While upgrading my ubuntu OS, it deleted all my partitions in my current hard disk and now I need another Hard disk to recover its data back. I wanted to buy new hard disk anyway but now its urgent so i can stop using Live USB :-D
Which hard disk I should pick. I want USB 3 support if its external hard disk.

Thanks.
Linux is not in supported OS list of these external HDD but I want to use file system of linux if possible without performance loss. Is it still possible ?
Transcend provide linux support : Transcend StoreJet 25M3 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Disk - Transcend: Flipkart.com.
This means Transcend will perform better in linux file systems ? or all these supported OS lists are just for supporting softwares provided by these brands ?
