The best wud be to buy a Laptop HDD of any capacity and you can get an external casing from Enter, Zebronics, Intex or any other company for 200 Rs.

This is the most cost effective solution. Otherwise, go for the Ones from IOmega.

WD 80Gb with casing abt 4000/-(5 yr warranty)
well it depends on quality of casing.

never buy cheap casing.
the casing must have two LEDs.
1.power
2.HDD reading
