Rep Power: 3 | HI_TO_ALL Here is Something NEW ! Western Digital has introduced its new My Passport Elite Portable USB Drives, weighing in at less than 5 ounces and available in capacities of 320 and 250 GB. ![]() Adding to the small footprint, these drives are USB-bus powered, which eliminates the need for an external power adapter. "Your digital content is as personal today as photos in shoeboxes and racks of CDs were yesterday," said Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD's branded products and consumer electronics groups. "The device that securely holds your content should be just as personal. Having listened to our customers, we are expanding the options available on our WD Passport family of personal storage devices with more features, content management functions and fashionable design." The new My Passport Elite Portable USB drives include a capacity gauge that enables users to know at-a-glance how much space is available; automatic backup software that lets users designate files and folders for automatic and continuous backup; synchronization software that lets users sync their changes and protect their information with 128-bit encryption. It features plug-and-play capability with gaming consoles to make it easy to play music and view photos and video files on a TV. The drives are available in four soft-touch colors - bronze, titanium, westminster blue and cherry red The drives come with 5-year limited warranty are available at select retail stores and from WD's online store (WD Store: Buy Western Digital hard drives, external drives, laptop drives, USB 2.0 drives.) with the 250 GB drive costing $169.99 USD and the 320 GB costing $199.99 USD.

Rep Power: 3 | This would come as a boon for those who don't have space or slots available to have the internal HDD and what more is that these external HDDs work faster than the regular ones. But with its look and other features, these hdd's would definitely be costly, i suppose. |
