Want to buy a 500 gb ext hdd. Any particular factors I need to count in?
If possible I'd like to have it in 3.5K since its a festive season.
Thanks in advance

Get a 1 TB disk. The price difference between a 500 G and 1 TB model is just 200 - 400 bucks. Even I'm regretting not buying a 1 TB disk :banghead:

do not rely much on external hdd unless you handle them with great care & even then use them for storing only that data which you can afford losing or have another copy in some other hdd.

Shopclues has mixed ratings, but it can't be compared to flipkart directly.
Many people in TDF,bought things from shopclues including myself. But i didn't had any bad experiences.

Just read the experiences of TDF people in shopping threads, and you will find it for yourself. Buy it , if you're ok with it.
Btw, the coupon is working for me..

This is a generic coupon, not linked with a user email id.

sometimes generic coupons depend on conditions like city(shipping address),timing(like from 12AM-9AM),payment method etc.
