2.5" external HDDs are portable and dont require power for working. 3.5" external HDDs are not easy to carry around and they need external power source for their working. the maximum capacity in a 2.5" within your budget will be WD 160gb passport....but if you are going for 3.5" you can get Maxtor 500gb for 4.5k - 5k from Bangalore SP road

lol no backup. It just takes power directly off the AC current. So the moment power is off, the external drive also goes off :bleh: . This is why you get portable 2.5" HDDs :) coz they are so much easier to carry and weigh less as well :D
