Storage Solutions Buying 2tb portable hdd, any suggestions?

[Sobirvs]

So I am looking to buy 2tb portable hdd. Space matters to me but no portable hdd has more space than 2tb do they?

Also, i am not interested in buying desktop ext hard disks, as I have had previous experience with one.. that was 3tb WD, and all the time needed to be connected to power adapter. I know it's a small inconvenience to some peeps, but was much pain in the ass for me.

I have searched for some and the best one I could find was of WD's and that too metal series, which look great and as I am not gonna be buying hdd's every year, I think I better invest in a premium / limited series product.

I'll be buying in march, not this month so I have some time to think about it. Anybody know any other better one's ? lemme know

WD Passport Ultra is quite good. I got it last month. Quite good.

I got it for 8k - 1500 cashback from paytm.

No I dont think the offer exists anymore. Yes I got the metal one.

Metal one? u serious? is that product even listed on paytm or anywhere? as most sites have it for 13k or so.. and no cashback..[DOUBLEPOST=1423726997][/DOUBLEPOST]

Pls suggest for best brand for 1. TB hdd

There is not much choice in hard disk space here in India...
Either buy Seagate or WD...
Go with WD as they are reliable and have best after sales support

GO for WD my passport ultra for 1 tb that is fine.

1tb is less. I wish portable's were more than 2tb, but since they aren't, 2tb will do.

Let me know what you are buying. I also need one more.

Use OXIGEN2020 to get 20% flat discount.

You would need to sign up for an Oxigen Wallet account and load it up before buying. Brilliant deal in my opinion.
