Need to buy the cheapest possible 500GB external HDD

[Udaya Maurya]

I need to buy the cheapest possible 500 GB HDD, please tell which HDD will be the best for me and one more question, will there be an external power supplier with that? If yes then I would like to buy 320GB HDD (I guess it has no power supplier, i.e. it runs on the power of USB).

Go for Transcend 320GB Portable HDD. Rs. 4200 ( Only USB Powered - Don't need any external power )

If u dont need portability, I suggest customising ur HDD.
Get an internal Segate 7200.11 500GB HDD for 3.2k and a SATA case for .6k.
U have a solution within 4k.

Is it USB powered or you have feed power through a external ac adaptor ?
