Cost per GB:
Adata SH14(USB 3.0): 5000/750 =

Western Digital My Passport Essential(USB 3.0): 4400/500 =
8.80/-
Seagate Expansion(USB 2.0): 4100/500 =
8.20/-
My take: The best USB 3.0 external hdd money can buy, cost per GB is lower than USB 2.0 hdd let alone USB 3.0 hdd from competition, performance is blistering fast, a drive that runs as fast as its desktop counterpart at 5400RPM, warranty is standard 3 yrs replacement, silent, runs cool, and comes with added features like shock and water protection that actually works(refer to TPU review below).
