Hey guys, So i need to buy a external hard drive urgently. I looked up at FK and there are a variety of options from 2.5 to 3.5 etc. Getting confused with these options, so was hoping that you could help me with these choices. Honestly i prefer WD over seagate. Have had some poor experience with seagate before. I need quick transfer speeds and minimum of 1tb storage. Quite a lot of important files will be stored, so i need a reliable one.

WD My Passport Ultra 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive - WD: Flipkart.com

WD Elements 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive - WD: Flipkart.com

Whats the difference between these two models?

WD My Passport has some extra software's bundled for backup and security purposes.

If you want to use these functionality go for My Passport - WD My Passport Ultra 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Drive - WD: Flipkart.com

if reliability is your main concern then do not rely on only 1 hard disk.make sure to have backup of important data in another hdd.

Honestly speaking, i dont need some of these security purposes, but will it take some of the space away from the hard drive??Will i get less storage space if i go for the passport version?Is the speed same in both?
