Suggest =>250GB HDD @ lessthan 3.5k

[Sathish]

as far as i analyzed,
a model of WD 250GB hard disk is pricier than 500 GB Hard disk in same brand..

is any other features will affect read write performance.
pl suggest a 250 GB HDD of any brand with good performances and for cool running. (it may be a premium model)
my budget is maximum 3.5k

AFAIK, you would get a 500GB HDD itself in your budget... Check here: http://www.theitwares.com/hdd/hdd.htm

You could go for the Seagate 500GB HDD with 32MB buffer for around 3.8K.. The best bet of the lot.. However, the sweet spot in the pricing is the WD 640GB HDD.. Costs just around 4K..! Thats an extra 140GB space for aroud 300 bucks extra..

Mate, the 32MB version of Seagate 500GB is retailing for 2900/- in Nehru Place, New Delhi...

You check your local dealer for the rates... They have fallen a lot in the past few months!

PS And it was rated the best by Digit in their review...

^^wat abt WD 640GB ?

[srbharadwaj]

whats the diff? why is the price so indifferent?
does the seagate 500gb one work on all the systems?

Even i'am on the look out for a USB HDD (250Gb and above) with a budget of 4k max.... 2.5" or 3.5, size dos'nt matter much....should work with xp and vista.....faster read/write is prefereable... please suggent one from SP road in Bangalore

^^Look for Western Digital Passport 250 GB.
For more storage capacity, look for their My Book series. WD provides the best external HDDs IMO.
