I bought this HDD, not a very long ago from Flipkart only.
Works fairly well with high speed data transfer. Before buying it I read reviews saying that it has heating issues. But even after prolonged use for about 1 and a half, I didn't find any overheating. The cable provided is long enough (I am using it with my laptop). The rubberized outer cover provides a strong grip, but also results in dust collection, which apparently is not an issue as you can just wipe it off with a cloth.

Overall ...

I purchased this item from Flipkart a few days back and as such the performance seems satisfactory. USB 3.0 gives speeds upto 100 Mb/sec which is quite impressive, although the speed may come down to 70-80 Mb/sec for smaller file sizes or after prolonged use. USB 2.0 gives speeds around 20-30 Mb/sec.

I transferred almost 700-800 gb from my desktop into the device almost continuously over a period of 2-3 hours. The drive didn't show any appreciable heating, although there was an error 'generi...

This device does not have Y USB cable instead it is just a normal USB cable with two ends. May be they have modified the design. Even the manual speaks about Y cable but the product has the normal cable similar to that of other HDDs.

Pros:
1. Drop tested. Three layer shock protection. (Important For Me - Choosing Factor)
a. Shock/Vibration absorbing silicone shell

I was looking for a robust HDD within 6.5K.
I looked at Adata HD710, Buffalo MiniStation Extreme(pricey).
