Friends I want to purchase an external HDD of 1 TB. I have read some eariler posts on the same, but I want suggestions on some more informations.
1. Wchich one is the best WD/Seagate/Adata
2. I am confused between USB 3.0 & USB 2.0, actually I have never used any USB 3 device, so I want to know whether these HDD with USB 3.0 will work with my system or not as my system has only USB 2.0 ports.
3. Can I make partitions in the HDD? If yes how? Suggest me the list of softwares by which I can do the same..
4. Can I lock the HDD with any software? Suggest the names also. And one thing if I can manage to lock the drive through any software from my system can anyone use it or see the contents who will not have the same software on his system?? Will the HDD or any partition will be locked for everyone?
5. Can I install and use an OS from the HDD?? Suppose I install an OS in it how can I boot from it??
6. Is there covers available for External HDD in market?
7. The most impotant, should I purchase if from local market or from flipkart/snapdeal?? What is warranty coverage of products purchased from online shoping sites,how they work??
Please friends suggest me your valuable opinions..
