Re: 1 TB notebook harddisk
my budget is not that much...besides, there is always a temptation of going towards 2TB of desktop hdd in that price range..
which 2.5 inch casing is to be used and what about sata and ide option, which is better??

Re: 1 TB notebook harddisk
1TB 2.5" hard disks are almost impossible to get in the market. Even if available, they will also be around 4.5k+.
There are no IDE 1TB 2.5" drives. SATA is your only option.
Good SATA casings cost a bit and might end up making it a bit more than a normal 2.5" external drive. If your only purpose is an external drive, it doesn't make much sense.

A 1 TB Segate GoFlex with a RCOMLSB1 coupon is your best option from Letsbuy.com

3.5 inch hdds are too big to carry around, i need space and portability, and budget is also limited!!

^ What exactly is your query? :S
An external 1TB 2.5" portable drive costs the same if not less than a 1TB 2.5" portable laptop drive + case, and is easily available as well.
There's nothing cheaper in the 2.5" form factor!
