@Anil you must have got the 2.5 form factor one which does not require external power.
Seagate or WD which one is better? WD one is cheaper, is it a good brand? Which one these brands offer better after sale service and warranty? My friend got a chinese external hdd case but its adapter got blown in just 4-5 days, does branded adapters have such issues?

Yes it requires external power and a usb cable. Adapter and a USB cable are provided and it comes with 3 yr warranty.
I am not sure of weight, it must not more than ~1.5 KGs (including adapter). You must ave seen a PC HDD add to that a big adapter and the HDD case(~300gms). This might give you a idea.
It is a 3.5 inch hard disk, they are not portable. If portability matters get a 2.5 inch hdd based external hard drive. They ran off usb so adapter is not necessary but they are pretty expensive. You will get ~500 GB for 3k.

Eigher you buy the external HDD in 2 options .
1. Require external power : Cheaper and heavier .
2. Do not require external power : Expensive and Lighter .
Seagate without power 500 Gb = 2.5K
Seagate with power 1TB = 3.2-4.3K

Seagate GoFlex portable (without power) 1TB is 4.5k.
Seagate GoFlex Desk (with power) 1TB is 3.3k
If you can find the USB3 version of the Desk edition (rare), it will work without external power. You can also buy a separate USB3 adapter for 1.9k.

1 TB = 10^12 Bytes [ 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 ] , HDD sellers consider that.
But Computer , 1 TB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024.
Hence the shortage.
I have a Seagate Freeagent 1 TB , Best thing i've ever bought.

oh wow...Xenforo!!!
I have a 1.5TB GoFlex USB 3.0 for evaluation. Its 22mm thick. I am speculating but judging by the performance its a green edition drive for sure. There are 2 models within the 1.5TB. The specific one that I am evaluating is STAA1500301 and this one comes with 3 years manufacturer's warranty mentioned on the box. The drive comes with Seagate Dashboard software, offering share file support between PC and MAC (basically an NTFS installation file for Mac).
When I got this drive, the softwares wasn't there (whoever tested it earlier had pirated copies for l4d2, vintage, 06 and other *ahem* stuff *wink*wink*) but if its the same as the GoFlex Slim I tested then the backup is nothing more than a media backup.

OK, Thanks for info. I was feeling at loss due to 70+ GB space missing.
I had Chinese one earlier which could be easily upgraded. What about this one?
