Seagate Goflex would be perfect.You need to buy usb 3.0 adapter separately.

Its 2.7k on letsbuy but you can use RCOMLB1 coupon to bring down to 2.3k. BTW you will get a Reebok sipper free with that too.

You have to get the kit for that and it costs ~1.5k in the market

Yes it is i guess. Check for Passport essential with USB 3.0. But their site mentions that WD drive has 1 year warranty. Some say its typo and some say that model only has 1 year warranty. Check the LetsBuy thread.

Buy Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 2.5 500GB USB 3.0 WDBACY5000ABK PESN at Best Price in India - Also find Specifications, Photos, Features & Reviews

^^ I think the USB 3.0 cable comes pre-bundled so you needn't worry. Look at Transcend's Storejet 25M2 500GB it is priced around the same mark and has a superior casing Welcome to the Transcend Website - StoreJet 25M2-- the only gripe is it is USB 2.0 available in volume, USB 3.0 version is available on direct online order from Transcend's India site -- Welcome to the Transcend Website - StoreJet 25M3.
