new external transcend 1TB HD

[sggupta95]

hey guys.i am currently planning to buy a 1TB USB 3.0 drive in around a month.i prefer one which does not require external power.i have shortlisted some transcend and toshiba drives:

1.transcend storejet 25m3 1TB:

Transcend StoreJet 25M3 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Disk - Transcend: Flipkart.com

Transcend StoreJet 25M3 1 TB 2.5 Inch Ext. HDD USB 3.0 Price in India, Buy Best Transcend 1 TB Portable Hard Disk Online - Infibeam.com

2.transcend storejet 25h3p:

Transcend StoreJet 25H3P USB 3.0 2.5 inch 1 TB External Hard Disk - Transcend: Flipkart.com

Transcend StoreJet 25H3P 1 TB 2.5 Inch Ext. HDD USB 3.0 Price in India, Buy Best Transcend 1 TB Portable Hard Disk Online - Infibeam.com

there is not much difference in the above 2 drives,exept their colour and their outer shell.25m3 has an outer rubber shell,and 25h3p has a silicone one.though i don't know if that causes any difference.

i selected these drives as both of them have good build quality.

there's also toshiba canvio and WD Passport.but i think i prefer the transcend drives,but i'm just making sure i'm making the correct decision.
feel free to post your views on my selection,or if you think there is a better product out there

Transcend 25M3 looks good, prices are lower than this-

Seagate Backup Plus 1TB Hard Drive - Buy External Hard Drives Online @ Lowest Prices | Snapdeal

and the reviews are also good.

a friend of mine bought the same seagate for 5195 in december 2012 and now in one month the prices have gone up by 400 rupees. u cant really take the prices for granted, they get down or up any time

well,i can't decide between 25m3 and 25h3p.their prices are roughly the same,depending on which site you take.
the only other alternative i'm thinking is toshiba canvio,but i can't fing any good reviews of it.

both the transcends are same i guess, but looks wise i find 25m3 better
