Kindly suggest good Ext 3.5' SATA to USB 3.0 Ext adapter [flip kart/amazon /etc] with warranty

For some reasons i need to go away from my Home PC for long (work ) , so i need a external SATA to USB 3.0 adapter to connect my 2TB WD Dynamic HDD to usb 3.0 port on laptop for occasional databackup and file access

WD PASSPORT ultra is a nice option.

I want enclosure only I alrdy have 2tb 3.5' Sata 3 hdd

I need an enclosure to connect it to hard disk

@Rajesh345, have a look at the Transcend StoreJet 35U3 hard disk drive enclosure, StoreJet 35U3 (USB 3.0)-External Storage xtra-large Capacity Desktop External Hard Drives. You can purchase it from E-Bay India, Transcend 3 5" HDD Casing Sata TS0GSJ35U3 Hard Drive Enclosure USB 3 0 | eBay.

It's too costly. 2. 5k just for enclosure only. Instead I can get a new ext hdd. Not worth it.
Anything cheaper? And no to transcend. I had a nightmare with transcend RMA. I stoped buying their products

Suggest someother please

its risky getting these things online
best is to get an external drive or try your luck with a known local shop
online you may end up with a lemon and damage the drive(happened to my friend)
if it was 2.5inch,there would have been more options etc
3.5 is where it gets risky,expensive etc
