wdpassport.jpgI think I have mentioned before that Western Digital is one of my favorite hard drive manufacturers. I was reading around on the internet today and came across this. It is really a sweet little portable drive. With a max capacity of 320Gb and only weighing in at 5 ounces it is an awesome answer to all of the huge files need to move around now. I am a little concerned about heat on this guy though, and would not recommend running it all the time. It would be best to just plug it in when you need to do your data transfers. It is not in need of a power source either, because it is powered by your USB port. I tried to look and see if anyone is talking about problems they have had with it and the only negative I could find was people thought the price should be lower. On this point I have to disagree, you can get the 320 for 200 bucks on their site, so I am sure there is a deal to be found on them. They come with special encryption software, as well as synchronization software. This can be very useful if you are transporting a PST file between 2 places (i.e. home and work). It is USB 2.0 compliant so you will get transfer rates around 450 to 480(MAX) Mbps. Let me know guys if you have any trouble with this guy.
