Default Bought a new 2.5" external USB 2.0 HDD

Hello folks
I recently bought a new 2.5" external HDD as i was running out of space as my already 250GB HDD was almost full so i thought i should invest in some space!

The model is

Product name: Transcend Storejet 25M
Capacity: 320GB
Actual capacity: I got 298 GB
RPM: 5400 RPM
Interface: Full high speed USB 2.0
Warranty: 2 years
Price: rs 4,799/-

I am pretty with this hdd as its fast and also rugged and passes this so called Millitary drop test!!

This model is sleek and sexy, i am pretty satisfied with it

p/s as soon as i get my card reader i will upload a photo of it also
