I compared price and quality of hard drives and then finalised toshiba hard drived to buy.I purchased it for 3500 in jan 2012 and till now I have not faced any problem in it.i recommed ed it to many of my friends and relatives.everyone is satisfied with it.i tried all windows on it like xp, vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and everything goes very smooth.so don’t think a second time, if you want to buy a hard disk at affordable price you can buy this one and I assure you that you will not face any problem.
