A good 1 TB internal hard drive(desktop) stictly below 85 $ or 5000 INR ?

hari2202 · Aug 9, 2013

its kind of hassle to find the best harddrive within my budget by using google because some reviews had rated a product good and some reviews had rated the same product as worst ..

so its bit of confusing for a newbie like me ..

so suggest me a good drive (with least or no failure rates) ...

Some good drives for the price :

1. WD Blue 1TB : http://www.flipkart.com/wd-blue-wd10ezex-1-tb-internal-hard-drive/p/itmdhgfq4gzp72rw?pid=IHDDHGYBEFGHQRTQ&ref=0fc4d77a-9ccc-4d5a-b2c1-1a93ecb5037e

2. Seagate Barracuda 1TB : http://www.flipkart.com/seagate-barracuda-1-tb-desktop-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003/p/itmd6uyz2g5sdhgh?pid=IHDD6UYN8VR4HRMA&ref=b911126a-7c69-45d1-befd-b84bedfceede

Also for 6100 you can get this 2TB HDD :

Seagate barracuda 2TB : http://www.flipkart.com/seagate-barracuda-2-tb-desktop-internal-hard-drive-st2000dl003/p/itmd2rynhvhxzdbe?pid=IHDD2RYNFFS5A8GH&ref=b2ebb5b5-c474-4fec-bd1b-d51bfb1c1c84

Get the WD Blue. It is a good HDD.

I hope this helps.

Believe me, there is nothing wrong with that HDD. The reason why the hard drives of people in India fails because they usually put the HDD in cheap cases from Iball, Intex and other rubbish companies which do not have proper airflow inside and do not have correct placement for HDD. So, the HDD usually overheat and hence they die very soon. Also the high temperatures in India is a contributing factor.

To ensure that your parts do not die you need to have a good case that has good airflow. And believe me, both Seagate Barracuda and WD Caviar Blue are good and fast hard drives.

If you want more reliability then you can get the slower but long lasting WD Caviar green. It is also available for around that price. But believe me there is nothing wrong with the WD Blue or the Seagate Barracuda, both are good drives. So just get the cheaper WD Blue drive.

Link to WD Caviar Green if you prefer longetivity and can compromise for a slower drive : http://www.flipkart.com/wd-caviar-green-1-tb-desktop-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezrx/p/itmd4tzf3zntagmh?pid=IHDD4TZEXNJPSBZ8&ref=26fff8da-fdd0-4f40-bf6f-d7c51a02a6cc
