Hello guys. I'm looking to buy a External 1 TB HDD soon. Maybe a week and I prefer ordering it online. Seeing how cheap HDD's are on Flipkart these days, I surfed through them and short listed Transcend StoreJet 25M3 to buy which is around 3.7k there. I would want to know whether my decision is correct. If not, please suggest me a good External 1TB HDD within 4k. Thanks a lot.

What is the advantage that I'd get on My passport which is worth 200-300 bucks than I'm getting on that Transcend?

Security software to be precise is actually the advantage of getting my passport

Also, Transcend one requires 2 USB-2 ports for power (or 1 for USB-3), will not work on most other devices which have single USB-2 port

Oh, so do you guys think My Passport will be the best bang for 4k?
