harsh 1 Report post Posted June 16, 2005 seagate 40gb harddisk for laptop costs Rs 4000 plus fitting charges about Rs 500. it carries 3 years warranty by seagate service center. one more option is a usb harddisk. a usb casing for above laptop harddisk is available at Rs 600/-. so the harddrive becomes an exteral usb harddrive.

vb86 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2005 ive come across a few usb hdd (cased). I wasnt very happy with their performance. Maybe branded ones are better. The iomega 250gb is for 200$ and 500gb is for 400$, atleast till sometime back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harsh 1 Report post Posted June 17, 2005 the performenace of externel hdds generally depends upon casing. if the casing is good, then it should not give any problems. and the performance in these is superb. iomega are damn costly here, and again they are bulky.

I just got one yesterday. Hey munna, if u are in Mumbai, and stay near Lamington, u can come with me ... I keep going to these shops every now and then. The 600 bucks quoted by Munna is nothing but, a external Casing, in which u can put ur hard disk so it acts as a external USB drive rather than being inside the CPU.

Sadikk 301 Report post Posted June 17, 2005 Well it wil look lil odd if i use external HDD for notebook. anywyas just drop me ur number so we can plan and go lamington to check all the possblities. Will this USB HDD consume power from notebook battery?? or wat it is le me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harsh 1 Report post Posted June 18, 2005 yes, usb hdd consumes power from usb port itself, so the battery's power will be used. although it consumes very very low power. but to run this you also need usb 2.0 ports, otherwise transfers will be deadly slow. generelly its used as a backup device only and not for frequent use on the laptop. so i would suggest either upgrade laptop hdd to 60 or 80gb or think of buying a hdd for desktop and use LAN to transfer data from laptop to desktop.
