Hello guys!
Firstly sorry if I posted in the wrong section.
I wanted some help regarding Portable HDD. I want to buy a HDD with 1TB storage and should have USB 3.0 connectivity. I looked up many places and found that the prices vary from 4500-6000.
Which companies are reliable? Can you suggest a good HDD which can be bought online and costs around 5K?
Here are a few models which looked good on Flipkart:
Hitachi Touro
Buffalo Ministation
WD My Passport
WD My Passport (blue)

Thanx for the reply. Any specific reason for selecting the WD drive? Or rather not getting the others?
