yes, absolutely!

Better add 500 bucks more and go for the 1TB model. You get double storage for just Rs.500 more.

I already have a 1 TB HDD, I am selling it because I don't need so much space.

Ofcourse, nothing is wrong but why to pay for things you don't need.

You never know. That might come handy anytime in the future. Moreover the difference is not much, just 500 bucks.

I am selling my 1 TB one and want to buy a new 500 GB one.

@ SAM9953
Bro,there's no harm in having more space...I have one 1TB and one 2TB HDD's...The one TB is full while 2TB was having about 700GB data....
I came to nagpur to do a winter training and stayed at my dad's company guest house..Little did I know that I was about to run short of space...The LAN speed was so great(~2 GB/hr) there that I had to purchase a 3TB HDD for 9.8k ( and you say a fast,free and unlimited net access is great ) during my stay
There's no harm in having more space,specially when you are getting double capacity for 500 xtra bucks.
