Which external HDD to buy?

[aditya7196]

I'm looking for a 1TB external hard drive. I've four options on table-
1. Adata HD720
2.Transcend StoreJet 25M3
3. Silicon Power Armor A30
4. Silicon Power Armor A15

Price isn't a problem, I can afford them all. I saw the reviews and in terms of durability, all of them perform very good. I'm confused about which one to buy. Need urgent advice.

I would say the Transcend as the military drop tested one that I have has never had any issues at all and I use it frequently. It has also dropped a few times, max 4 feet and it is still fit as a fiddle.

i'd say get the transcend because its shock-durable. actually all of them perform well within 1 or 2% of each other in term of performance so get the one from the brand you trust the most.

What do you primarily want out of the drive besides speed? I personally use the WD My Passport Metal edition and it will easily maintain speeds over 100MB/s and stays really cool doing it with the metal case (plus it looks sleek).

If price really isn't a problem, pretty much any external SSD would be a good choice unless you are constantly writing large amount data regularly to it.
