Hi Friends....
Iam Planning To Buy A New External Hdd This Week...plz Suggest Me Good One And Quote The Prices Preferrably For Delhi...

[primitive_trash]

i think the better..more cost efficient alternative will be to buy a hard disk and get an external casing for it. you can choose watever capacity you want for the harddisk.and the casing is for 500-700.

or if you still want an 'external' hard disk then you can go to techtree they have reviewed quite a few ones...

[anweshkumar]

You get IDE to usb or SATA to usb converter kits. I am not sure about the price. but I guess it should be well less than 1k.(500 or 600)
it looks something like this

i think its not a very good option to buy an internal hdd with casing for a laptop..i had it for a month or so ..and in that time my hdd crashed abt 5-6 times and subsequently i lost 2 of my partitions and arnd 40 gb of stuff...so beware !

[anweshkumar]

Does laptop will get slow down when i use hdd with casing....are there any external hdd's specially for laptops...?

[xbonez]

a laptop hdd in an external case is much more cost effective and should not give any prob. i've been using one for about an year now. the costs i checked yesterday are rs.2100 for 40gb and rs2800 for 80gb. both are seagate 5200rpm laptop hdd in an advik external case. cots are of nehru place, new delhi

[anweshkumar]

Thank you for the information xbonez....iam interested in going for 160gb hdd,can u tell me the price for it.And the place(exact address plzzzz) where i can get it cheap in delhi.Can u tellme whether laptop will get too slowdown when i use external hdd.

[xbonez]

not sure about the 160gb hdd. will find out prices and let u know. that may be on the higher side since 160gb laptop hdds sren't very common. however if u live in delhi, the best shop to get ur comp goods is computer empire from nehru place new delhi. ask anybody in nehru place about the shop and he'll guide u there. he's got the best prices in delhi. thats why at any given time there's the max rush in this shop. i use my 40gb external seagate hdd with an hp laptop. it doen't slow down the laptop at all. however battery consumption obniously increases while the external hdd is attached

Address : 104, MEGHDOOT, 94, NEHRU PLACE,, NEW DELHI

[xbonez]

yes thats the shop i'm talking about. however i feel that u r getting the disks very expensive. u should either take a 80gb external hdd and wait for costs of 120 and 160gb to come down. however if it is urgebt go for the 120gb one since it gives muh better cost/gb

[anweshkumar]

will there anychances of prices down of hdd's in summer hols......
