are you sure ?? 2.5" Smaller Laptop HDD USB casings which doesnt need external power is about that price... but much bigger 3.5" Desktop HDD may need External power adapter based Casing, and I dont think those are available for Rs. 200, as here at Kolkata some where around 800 to 1200 !!!

if u pay a visit 2 lammy u will find casin available 4 desktop HDD 4 as low as 150 buck

dey sell such things on foothpaths

and if u'd read his post more carefully u'd've read dat he is takin abt price difference & not d absolute price

yap.. in bangalore the transend thing with 1 yr warrenty is 1.5k nearly and looks cool also...locals at 800bk

is SATA 2.5 casing available online anywhere?? I got this giftmate voucher that I can put to use..
