buying 500 Gb ext HDD

Looking to buy a ext hdd of 500gb. No idea regading brands never used any.
Budget is anything around 3k.
Basic purpose will be like sharing games and storing movies.

Toshiba Canivo 500 GB is available for 3.6k. however, I strongly (read: very very very very very strongly) suggest to invest 500 bucks more and get a 1 TB disk. For just 500 bucks more you get double capacity!

Same write speed
Bit bulkier
Bit heavier
More costly
&
Less Ratings as compared

My recommendation is more appropriate I guess

Advantages you get from passport ultra is:

> WD Smartware Pro Software

> Cloud backup

> Password protection and hardware encryption

if these are not useful to you go with elements :wink:

Well encryption is what I need but what is that pro software?

WD SmartWare

Basically it automatically backups your files and also it has the option to backup to cloud.

^^So is it worth the money spent on it?

I don't think so. You can backup to cloud using third party application also. Same goes for encryption.

ummm help guys what to do now???

I think you should go for the Passport ultra as it has better build quality and those features

Okay than will place the order tomorrow. By the way has anyone used fk one day delivery??
