Well , best you check the price in Nehru palace , baragin :) and then decide. I would stick with the one I get at a local shop.

don't know about safe or not but right now the HDDs featured there are costly compared to flipkart, amazon and ebay. better check prices there first and then check local vendors too.

Got a 16Gig USB shipped from Delhi.Got a proper bill but the package wasn't very protective maybe because it's a USB.
Better go for a local purchase.

I don't know about how safe it is but if I would be at your place I won't buy it.

recently bought lots of stuffs from paytm :D though I did not buy any HDD it's still pretty safe IMO. Depends on the seller you are dealing with mostly and there always paytm care you can contact.

It's understandable to be suspicious of such low priced HDDs.

My colleagues bought several HDDs from Paytm, Toshiba ones for 2700, WD for 2900 after cashback, had no problems with order or delivery, and the HDDs are also running fine.

Even I have shopped with PayTM many a times, they are trust worthy. I have bought memory cards, and got computer generated invoice for the same.
One of my friends bought a new HDD 3 days back from them, he is yet to receive it.

My friend has made multiple purchases from PayTM and all deliveries were fine.
