WD is good. Maxtor Basics is also OK if you are looking for a cheap deal. Don't go for seagate however. Read MANY bad reviews about it. But if you still want, it's available for Rs.4499 - shipped at ebay (after applying 10% discount coupon). Maxtor basics is something Rs.5199- shipped (after coupon)
I'm also in the market for 1TB x 2 HDDs and was actually looking for a WD Black. Since i live in Bang, i called up a few shops in SP road and they quoted a price of Rs. 6800 for each 
Contacted Amarbir/Mediahome here on TE, and they're offering it to me for Rs. 6350+ shipping (mind you this was a month ago). So it might be cheaper now :hap2:

I recently bought the WD Caviar Green. I already have a Seagate 160GB HDD so I was gonna go for another Seagate but apparently their quality is a thing of the past; judging from all the posts I read about Seagates dying and having to be RMAed and all. So yeah, go WD.
Caviar Green will be cheaper (got mine for 5K at SMC) but it's also supposed to be slower.

I looked for newegg from KMD.

7200.12 problems are increasing day by day.hunt3r said:
many people are complaining about the issues in seagate forums and all over.
But seagate hasn't anounced any thing regarding it officially.
may be the afraid that sales may drop if agreed so.so acting as dumb.
I doubt it's another 7200.11 in issues scenario.
WD Black is best thing to for but yet too costly.
