Will only store Movies, music and steam game backups and TV Shows.
I have these in mind-
1.WD Elements

But the seagate one is very thick which I dont prefer....
3.Sony HD-E1
This one is also good but i dont like its sharp edges....

I have a 1TB My Passport - Transfer speeds are above average, USB 2.0 write speeds hover around 25mBps. Don't know about USB 3.0.

The drive does not have a glossy finish, so not much chances of scratching.

^25mBps is way above avg

My elements used to give 25-27mBps in 2.0 and 50-70mBps in 3.0.
