Buy local - worth it for HDDs. Price difference not much - I paid actually less for a 500gb external Seagate than Tiger/Newegg were charging.

Its cost Rs. 4778 (rediff shopping)
Also, you get the warranty, which you will not if you buy from the US...

Its 87 USD at Newegg. Thats about 4200/-. Better to buy here - I think you will get its at less than 4500. BTW where is your sis finding it for 70? Is it a reliable retailer?

*www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList...306 131021354 1310221296&name=Western Digital

Its 90 at Tigerdirect. Both Newegg and TD are reliable stores.
