Used or New 1 TB 2.5' External HDD

3 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/used-or-new-1-tb-2-5-external-hdd.167153/

Hey I am looking to buy a new 1 TB. I know there's an existing thread but I have certain different preferences

HDD must have:-
1) USB 3.0 + USB 2.0
2) Minimum 3 Year Warranty ( I can't find any with 5 year warranty :/)
3) Cheap Price

I have shortlisted these:-

Buffalo
Verbatim
Toshiba
Buffalo

I have a question these HDD just say USB 3.0 so will they work with USB 2.0 or not as I want them to work on both.

If anyone is interested in selling an old 1TB HDD PM me with reasonable price. Right now I am inclined on the first one

PS - Suggest ASAP lest these HDD go out of stock

I suggest first one or this with coupon code SCHDFC or this
USB3 HDDs work with USB2 ports also

heyy I too am in lookout for an external HDD -1tb portable...

1)WD My Passport USB 3.0 1 TB External Hard Disk and
2)Seagate Backup Plus

are my shortlisted items....
i dont care about the looks... (both of them look pretty much the same to me.....)
i'm more inclined towards areas like performance and size
i guess WD MY passport has the edge when it comes to size and the ease of carrying around..

Unless Seagate Backup Plus offers more speed and reliability than WD My passport, the latter remains my favorite option....

please help me take the best option.....
links of any good deals are also welcome...
my budget is under 6k
