any of those green HDDs from seagate or WD will do, your PSU should be able to support it

HDD require very less amount of power , you can easily add one.

I recommended 1 TB because that gives Price / GB ratio . Rs 1700 for 500 GB, Rs 2400 for 1 TB

Though both are extremely good, my vote goes to Western Digital.
Main reason is free home pickup and drop.
