Even I am planning to buy one. I heard the transfer speed of up to 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), which is more than 10 times as fast as USB 2.0 (480 Mbit/s, or 60 MB/s).

go for transcend

^^you will not get 625 MBps but still 110 can be reached!

WD external drives(USB 3.0) are very slow, suggest staying away, go for Adata or Toshiba if you can(USB 3.0)

Guys how good is this? How good is Buffalo's reliability and ASS?
Portable Drives India, Buffalo Portable Price, Buy Buffalo Mini Station 500GB portable Hard Online - Infibeam.com

Its from infibeam and is available for 3.6K

Any chance of getting a 1tb one for 5K (USB 3 doesn't matter)

No idea, buffalo dvd writers are not good, my friend's broke in a year, ass was ok.

Hopefully their HDDs are better, 3.6K is a pretty good price.

Any personal experiences with Buffalo HDDs and ASS? Also is there any place I can get a 1TB drive for ~5K?

No, none, cause not a lot odf peeople buys buffalo hdds, better off with Seagate/WD/Toshiba, see my review here: *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/reviews/152400-adata-sh14-750-gb-usb-3-0-external-hdd-review.html

WD USB 3.0 drives are slow as hell, Seagate is faster. Adata/Toshiba are fastest.

See my review posted above. I have one myself and I'd also seen reviews, these drives are slow for USB 3.0, seagate are faster, adata/toshiba is fastest.
