for frequent access data, get an internal drive. if you want portability ,then get an external hdd.

I think i will buy internal hdd and what is a vfm drive ?
What about any good hdd's from seagate ? Is seagate best or Western Digital ?

get wd blue 1 tb. the reason why wd is suggested over seagate is because of the hassle free rma experience.
Any out of WD or Seagate is fine.
People have equal share good or bad experiences with them.
Other smaller companies have problems with RMA.

Purely my personal experience. WD and Hitachi RMA is overwhelmingly superb with onsite pick up and drop. Even if you fail to submit they will call back and rearrange a pick up again and again and again within the 30 days if you choose to RMA. They are that good and responsible. Ill never buy Seagate or suggest one to anyone just because WD and Hitachis products are as good or better and then they have that awesome after sales.
I had and am still having hell of a time with Seagates RMA and drives.

Has anyone purchased a Western Digital Elements Portable 1TB USB 3.0 portable hard disk drive from Snapdeal? It is unbelievably cheaper on the said online store as compared to most of the other popular ones, to a skeptically apprehensive extent.
I understand the Western Digital My Passport Ultra is superior to the Elements Portable. But, is the latter model not worth the consideration?

Beware of Snapdeal, and you can definitely get the Element if you want. Ultra is for people who need to transfer data back and forth and carry it in places, other than that I don't think there's any difference. If storing data is the only thing you need then why Element, even cheaper disks will do the job fine.

@ithehappy, thank you very much for your prompt response.
Are you implying that the Western Digital Elements Portable is not a convincing storage medium, in terms of portability?
Lol, no, it is indeed a good option in terms of portability but just not as good as the Ultra. Now you need to do decide your priority, if it's portability, then I think you're better off with Ultra, but if it's storage mainly and some portability then Element or anything.
One more thing, a protective cover / pouch is a must when it's about portability, so at the end even if you do get an Ultra the overall dimensions will be bigger than the actual size.

Has anyone bought the Western Digital My Passport Ultra from Snapdeal, Access Denied
My WD passport ultra External HDD arrived today. But it contained a case or pouch.. The 1st compartment in the packaging was empty....!? I received the package in good condition.. And doesn't look that it has been tempered with... Even pouch or case is not mentioned on the box itself... But, I'm happy with what I got... Small and beautiful....

@Ashok Verma, congratulations on getting your new portable hard disk drive. Where did you purchase it from?

Yup friend, I'm thinking to buy Saco case from Saco gives you MORE... or from flipkart... But hesitate due to size/fitting of drive in case.
K

Any suggestions... Plz suggest online store.

@Ashok Verma, have a look at this, HDD CASE. I have purchased four of these from Flipkart, two for myself and have gifted the other two to friends individually.
I think this is a good case but the dimensions of the case is too big for WD passport ultra... Wouldn't it be bulky for this HDD..@Ashok Verma, have a look at this, HDD CASE. I have purchased four of these from Flipkart, two for myself and have gifted the other two to friends individually.

@kkn13, the four Smartfish hard drive cases I have purchased from Flipkart, have been through the seller, netITSystems. This seller offers Free Delivery and Cash On Delivery. You can have a look here, SmartFish Hard Disk Cases - Buy SmartFish Hard Disk Cases Online at Best Prices in India.
But, I am unsure if Smartfish, and or, any other hard drive case manufacturer offers a product that can house multiple hard disk drives.
