I really like how the Western Digital Elements 1.5TB drive looks. I’m waiting for some coupons or sales to pop up so I can buy one for a bit cheaper (although, $130 is already pretty cheap for 1.5TB).
WD Passport Studio now sports a FireWire 800 connection
October 30, 2008 @ 5:56 pm
Western Digital announced today an update to their Passport Studio line of external harddrives for the Mac that include a FireWire 800 connection for ultra-fast transfers. The drive still comes with the traditional USB connection, but the addition of the FireWire port should be a good thing for people who handle big files on a regular basis. Western Digital is catering this drive to digital video professionals and photographers mostly, but that’s not to say that you can’t transer other types of big files (say, full DVD rips in a flash).
Anyway, if you’re looking for a drive with FireWire support, you’ll probably want the biggest drive possible anyway, so the 500GB version is available now for $250. Not bad, not bad. I’d like one.
Western Digital My Passport Essential portable HDD
January 31, 2008 @ 10:59 pm
The sexy Passport hard-drives from Western Digital have just gotten a bit sexier with these new My Passport Essential USB-powered shiny black boxes. Like the regular WD Passports, the My Passport Essential is thin, fast, and looks superb. You honestly can’t store your stuff in anything better.
As you can see, the My Passport Essential is small enough to fit in your shirt pocket (not a recommended storing location).
The My Passport Essential comes in storage capacities of 160GB, 250GB, and 300GB. The 300GB is only $200. Mod this sucka with a LCD screen and a headphone jack and you’ve just bought yourself the world’s cheapest iPod with the greatest storage capacity. Heh, just kidding (although I’d like to see somebody do that).
WANT (the 300GB version)!
