hi guys..i was planning to buy an external hdd next month...but i am in a big confusion...i am planning to go for 360gb or 500gb....but which brand should i go for?..seagate or transcend?...does seagate has the shock proof feature like transcend?..which one will be better?...and wht abt the prices of each brand for respective capacity drives?

pls advice:S

bro seagate is better. as u get better gb/rs ratio. about the shockproof idont know . but it comes with a 5 year warranty

don't buy an external hdd

u need to upgrade at some time or so

Go for a branded casing with internal HDD.

Seagate freeagent GO is looking good - u ll get docking for easy connectivity , get 500GB !

 

[devilinearth]

Dude, what is docking feature?..and any idea about the price for 500GB?

 

[speedyfreak]

4K + tax for freeagent go 500GB

Seagate 500GB is good choice, it comes with 5 years warranty and has very good data transfer rate. It was 4.5K in the last month.

any idea about the price for 500GB?

Retails for around 4.7k.

(got one 2 weeks back. It rocks :hap2: )
