You will not be able to find an external 1TB hard drive for less than ~7000/- [on street], Sire. If you are willing to spend this much, these are your options --
Seagate Free Agent Go-Flex 1TB [upgradable to USB 3.0] ~7300/-
Seagate Expansion Portable 1TB [with USB 3.0] ~7000/-

Prices are not expected to drop any time soon, expect them to stay this-away for atleast another fiscal quarter. Towards the end of this year there might be a price reduction.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!

@vantheman5211 Sire, nothing personal against the recommendation but, one of the major distributors and most probable RMA partners is Rashi Peripherals. So I seriously will not consider recommending the A-DATA drive with a full confidence.

Those guys at Rashi are pathetic, they took my LOGITECH G300 almost a week back, they did not have a replacement in Delhi so it was shipped of to Bombay. It is still there feels repulsive and the service pipeline seems slipshod.

i actually did not know this boi.i thought prime is handling it themselves like they do with most of their products.

anyways if rashi is handling it then,stay away!
