WD My Passport Essential 250 GB 2.5" External Hard Drive

Great size and is very easy to use. Just plug the USB cord in and go to work. I chose to buy it from Buy.com because of low price and past history of ordering from them.

I purchased this portable drive as a Christmas present for my son. It gives you a great feeling when you hear "this is exactly what I need. I was going to buy one myself!" The unit was smaller than I thought it would be, which is actually great for my...
