I need a 2 TB External HDD.
It will be dual purpose
1. To Connect it to my LED TV for watching videos etc
2. Taking backup of my personal collection like photos and videos

With regards to option 1 I'm not sure if the TV would support 2 TB External HDD.
2 years back I bought WD 1 TB to connect to my TV.

I have the below one 1 TB

There are some SONY 2TB METAL models available on Flipkart/ Snap deal. Extreme build quality and look for 9k. They're also USB 3.0

You've recommended a bulky 3.5 inch device with external power adaptor, there are much better choices available, like

and it costs less than the sony models and has 3 years warranty too. I can personally recommend it since I've owned one for about 9 months now, no issues.

That is the least price I think.

My OS has not recognised this so had to temporary fix by installing OS on another HDD. Once I start using this will let you know.
