External HDD Suggestion

[arnold991]

Brothers,

I need a External HDD with the following things:

1) 500/750 GB Space

2) Ports: eSATA, Firewire, USB 2.0

It will mainly be used to transfer Data from Desktop to Laptop.

I just want a simple HDD i.e. Plug it, get detected as a simple drive, copy data. No involvement of any software to do it.

I am asking bcoz I am actually worried about DRM thing. I don't want this thing to create a problem for me and detecting any legal thing as illegal.

So, I think you guys might have got what I am asking for.

And please don't forget to tell me the price of both 500GB and 750GB Model.

Waiting for your suggestions
'Arnold'

Pathik bro I think Seagate Freeagent pro is a nice hdd. But the sad part is that they don't ship eSata cable with it.

So any idea from where can I purchase the eSATA cable for Seagate External HDD and how much it would cost ?

I already have eSATA port in my machine but not cable.

Western Digital 1 TB Essential Edition suits the purpose. I am using this. No DRM $hit

bro techtronic, it's not a eSATA one ? I need the one with USB 2.0, eSATA, and Firewire 400 at least.

What about Seagate FreeAgent Pro 500GB ?

Well, I heard Transcend(or maybe some other company) sells HardDisc cases supporting RAID-0(2 disc slots), with FireWire-800, USB-2.0 and eSATA for around Rs. 2K. You can buy one of these and buy two 320GB Desktop HDDs from Seagate or Western Digital to put inside it with RAID 0 Configuration.
