Advice on portable HDD

[GhorMaanas]

Hi,

will keep it brief. one of my colleagues needs a portable HDD of 1TB capacity. following are the parameters for purchase :

Capacity - 1TB

Brand preference - seagate>>WD>>hitachi>>toshiba>>IOmega>>transcend

Connectivity for USB 3.0 - not an utmost requirement; but better if present.

Form factor - portable, 2.5"

Budget - 3.5-3.8k, extendable to 4k

any suggestions guys ?! please assist

u should have searched before creating one new thread..there are lots of threads regarding same query....

anyways I prefer this
WD>>>>(hitachi/seagate)>>toshiba>>IOmega>>transcend

yup....i searched, but couldnt find one for less than 3.5k, which is what he would actually prefer. hence thought of creating one with upping the budget-value in hope of some kind soul helping me towards some worthwhile anyway....he is now settled for 500GB instead....so mods can close this thread. thanks a lot
