Both = same, unless your current hdd is showing low health in crystal disk mark, dont bother ditching it

click crystal disk info and check the HDD health
if the status is "Good", you need not replace it

I suggest 1TB instead of 500GB...more space is better

NO, Avoid snapdeal at all costs.. they are selling refurbished computer products and label them as "original".. Just last week, my brother ordered 23 transcend 2GB ram sticks for his office and found most of them were faulty and not in original transcend packaging..
Buy from flipkart or amazon.in.. or powersellers from ebay that have good rating..
alternately, you may try mdcomputers.in, theitdepot, primeabgb or smcinternational

It depends on the seller overall...

I have bought many things from SD never had any problems like this

WD 1 TB Black Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD1002FAEX) - WD : Flipkart.com

Get this instead, you are getting 5 years warranty + better performance from WD black drive .. IDK if its a pricing error but 1TB WD Black drive at Rs 3.9k is a very good deal (other sites, it costs as much as 6k)

Hows this >> WD 1 TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (WD10PURX) - WD : Flipkart.com

I think WD purple is for surveillance storage, i.e. less speeds but more reliability...
Go for WD blue, that is the common desktop storage HDD

lol everyone you know hasproblems with snapdeal :p

OP go with WD Black or Blue. Black offers better speed for a higher price, blue is balanced. Purple and Red are for CCTV surveillance and NAS storage respectively.

Ya.. recently had pathetic experiance with snapdeal.. REVIEW Would buy from The It Depot or Flipkart Or Amazon Or Nehru Place ;)

How are these:::
WD Blue WD10EZEX 1 TB Internal Hard Drive - WD : Flipkart.com
OR
Seagate SV-35 1TB Desktop Internal Hard Drive (ST1000VX000): Amazon.in: Electronics

Get the top one, reliability is really dependent upon user actually.. A seagate may last longer than a WD or vice versa.. but the popular choice right now is WD blue, so go for it

yeah, go for WD Blue but the only issue with FK is [ ws retail ] they don't HDD very well but things may have changed now and the seller is not also WS retail so I think you should be OK. And not to mention it also has FK advantage coverage.
