Hi
my 1tb WD caviar green has developed bad sectors and hence i need to buy an external hd asap for backing up the data before the RMA process. i am planning to buy the external hd(1 tb) this weekend. budget is around 3-3.5k and i can live with usb 2.0.

I am interested in WD/Buffalo/Seagate whichever costs lesser.

at cost2cost, WD and seagate 1tb costs ~3k. I dont know about buffalo.
can anybody please suggest which one to go for?

Also, which brand hd does buffalo uses. i have heard it is usually samsung hard drives or probably the cheapest one in the market. can anybody throw some light on this too?

Thanks
RGV
 
Thanks for the recommendation.

but i am on a very strict budget. moreover i would be using this external hd for backup and if the 2tb goes kaput i may lose a lot of data. In that case i would prefer a 1tb(as of now) and a month later a 500gb hd.

~3.5k is the max i can spend at the moment.
 
bought a wd element 1tb from nehru place for ~3000. wanted to buy from letsbuy @2700(after coupons) but then i needed it urgently.
