Western Digital / Transcend

I am looking for 1TB USB 3.0 Portable External Hard Drive.

I have zeroed in
1) WD My Passport Essential SE 2.5 Inch 1 TB External Hard Disk

2)Transcend StoreJet 25H3P USB 3.0 2.5 Inch 1 TB External Hard Disk

Please suggest.

Go for WD

WD is decent.

As for reliability, i'd pick Transcend...

yes even i think the same....wd's surface is glossy..prone to scratches..whereas transcend has a rugged surface.

^^Not only on that regard...
But seriously, many of us had underestimated transcend HDDs.
I've done some search before getting a HDD some months back & was surprised to see very few failures on transcend drives(u can count it in a hand) compared to WDs & seagate..

The usb 2.0 transfer speeds with this drive is faster than that of WD's..

I checked it myself with my cousin's 25H3P 1 TB drive some months back... Sorry i don't hav a proof..

thanks for the review megamind..

I have the WD drive. Yeah, its prone to scratches but looks sexy :))

But for HDD sexy doesn't works. Transcend seems to be rugged. Go for it. Speeds are fine in my WD. 27MB/s in 2.0 & 60-80MB/s in 3.0.

Get that transcend one..

i hav that .. i bought for 4k from letsbuy in last october
