Hi,

Please anyone suggest a good brand HDD 3.5" Casing USB 2.0 with adapter, I searched in net but couldn't find a good one, I found one in amazon Technxt New 3.5 External HDD Hard Disk Aluminum Enclosure USB 2.0 SATA Drive: Amazon.in: Computers & Accessories but the seeing the comments/reviews got confused about the quality, Transcend has 3.5" casing but its costly above 2.2k ! and i think its not worth to invest for casing.

OR if I get it from other country will it be a good deal..?
