External HDD

2nd partition of my 500gb seagate hdd is misbehaving, so i am interested in buying a hdd for backup.

I checked at flipkart and i have not found seagate freeagent goflex with usb 3 but WD comes with usb3. wd prices are a little high like Rs.300 than seagate. so what is the verdict? WD or Seagate?

and 3.5inch or 2.5inch? which is more reliable for regular use (like once in every 3-4 day)

Buying a Pocket USB HDD will be more handy than External Powered HDD.

If you are tight on budget then get a USB 2.0 otherwise USB 3.0 is anyday better these days.
