Why would anybody buy a hard drive if they don't know the manufacturer?
Why would anybody buy a hard drive if they had no way to return it if something goes wrong, where there is no warranty, and if there was a warranty, it would likely not be honoured (where would you ship it) since the product is being sold internationally?
Unless you really need to be mobile with 250GB, get a 7200 rpm SATA hard drive from some local and reliable source. Don't take chances with your data. Get a huge (cheaper) backup and do rotating backups instead.
