currently the prices are
500GB - around 3500/-
1TB - around 5000/-

Not sure but shop owners here in hyderabad are telling that prices will start coming down from January.
If you want to buy that HDD for backup purpose only then you can get 2TB External HDD (3.5") for around 5200/- (I saw some one buying Seagate GoFlex Desk for 5200/- last week)
