After researching newegg/amazon.com it seems the best price-capacity ratio is for 3tb. Which is exactly my requirement too.
The 3tb WD red looks like a nice buy, amazon will ship it to india for Rs. 9,723, but the only issue is most of the negative complaints about the drive are about DOAs and probable cause is improper packaging. So shipping all the way to India would be even more risky. Prime is quoting me 10.2 for the drive which i'm not very happy with.
Also looked at the hitachi deskstar nas 3tb but the import duty on that is much higher bringing the landed cost to Rs. 13,165.
Any other options? I would prefer buying locally any day, if only local sellers would stop with the ripping off on non-mainstream products.
