Wanted for backing up data....looking for a economic version.....perhaps 500 GB quite enough..please advice which to buy
Not worth it in current time because of ssd prices being increased by as much as 60%. Last year one could have bought 480gb ssd for ~3.5-4k in amazon oct/nov sale.If your requirements are low it's better to get a portable SSD instead of HDD

You can't generalize like that. There are cases of ssd failing too & unlike hdd where there is at least a possibility of predicting failure based on SMART values in many cases, ssd fails suddenly & completely whenever it does. There is no such thing as reliability of hdd/ssd, if you don't have backup of your important data then even the most expensive hdd/ssd does not come with 100% guarantee of reliability.But SSD is much more reliable compared to mechanical drives .. the price has been hiked but OP did not mention any budget. Also with his low storage requirement I think reliability matters more.

For cloud storage you can just zip the files with a long complex password(but make sure to not forget/lose it) before backing them up. A 64gb /any pendrive is not a good option for backup.For limited data to be backed up....a hdd might be costly....alternatives would be a cloud storage(privacy??) or lets say a 64 gb pendrive..?..which one??
Does amazon warantee hold good??1TB costs as low as 3k on sales at times.
Get this IMO:

Amazon warranty is only for return/replacement of product within 10/30 days(whichever is applicable). After that you will have to get warranty support from the manufacturer of the product.Does amazon warantee hold good??
I spoke with the seagte service centre near me....he correctly told me warantee will be valid only if product sold to me is genuine...how do i know thatAmazon warranty is only for return/replacement of product within 10/30 days(whichever is applicable).

Just check the serial number of HDD on Seagate's website after purchase. If S/N is not valid, ask amazon for replacement stating fake product (chances of this occurring won't even be 1% IMO).I spoke with the seagte service centre near me....he correctly told me warantee will be valid only if product sold to me is genuine...how do i know that
Buy from amazon own sellers appario retail & cloudtail.I spoke with the seagte service centre near me....he correctly told me warantee will be valid only if product sold to me is genuine...how do i know that
