To all Digitians,
I want to buy a new External Hard Disk to store game setups and movies. Is 500GB will suffice my need? Any product from any brand under Rs.3000/. I can extend my budget only Rs.500 more. Please try USB 3.0 with it.

Why you want a 500GB, if you can get 1TB for 3.9-4.2K?

Yes exactly. Its better to spend 1K more and get double space.

I think it is really a function of how you think.. you can get a 500 gb hard disk and put some stuff in it.. for example, i put movies in my hard disk mostly.. and after i m done with them, i delete them and put more.. so I have never felt the need of having a 1 TB hard disk..

But ain't it worth to spend 1K more and get double space ??

Purchase should be made regarding the market. Just make sure that there is more VFM in getting 0.5TB than 1TB

if I buy External HDD from market is any difference from online store in price....

nope . buy from trusted seller.

I selected external drives from online store here are the links:
From amazon:
1.Toshiba Canvio Simple External Drive @ Rs.3799
2.Seagate Expansion Portable External Drive @ Rs.4099
From Flipkart
Same from Flipkart Toshiba Costs :Rs.4100
Seagate Expansion Portable Costs :Rs.4400
Samsung M3 1TB Portable USB 3.0 @ Rs.4150

Which one is good and from which store should I order
