need a portable hard drive

i have a budget of rs4500/- to buy an external portable hdd(usb/firewire)...what should be the best model/brand & capacity that i can get at this price?

You can use maxtor portable hdd for that price.

Get the cheapest one which the dealer pushes over the store counter. I don't think there's much to separate between the brands except the warranty. I recently got a 320GB Transcend StoreJet as it was the cheapest of the lot at Rs. 3,750. Maxtor drivers would also cost the same. WD and Seagate are slightly on the higher side as they offer 3/5 year warranty.
