After many hassles with moving around my data, I have finally got myself an external hard drive. Its a Seagate FreeAgent Go 250 GB. I got it for about Rs.4200 and it comes with a 5 year warranty. Though I wanted to buy a drive with eSATA and Fireware, due to cost constraints, I had to settle for just an USB connector interface.
Since it is a portable 2.5" hard drive, just the USB cable is enough and no power cable is required. And it is significantly smaller than a conventional 3.5" desktop hard drive.
It had some software that came with it and enables automatic backups and a few other similar features. The first thing that I did was to delete that software and use the maximum space for my other junk data.
The write speeds were about 30 MB per second and peaked at about 50 MB per second. I havent yet checked the read speeds.
I am looking to hook it up to the DVD player and play movies through it. So its good bye and farewell to the DVDs and also to the 4 GB pen drive.
