Western Digital 320 GB Portable Hard Drive

With Buffalo just recently unleashing their MiniStation Turbo on the world, Western Digital have entered the 320 GB portable HDD game with their very own version, an addition to the Passport range. Probably the most obvious difference between the two units is the price tag with the WD version setting you back only US$230 - an awesome price for an external drive of this capacity. Anyway here are the rest of the details for you to drool over

* USB 2.0 connectivity
* 480 Mbps transfer rate
* 15 x 130 x 80 mm
* 105 g

WD have used their Scorpio drive for this puppy which spins around at 5,400 rpm, has a transfer rate of 3 GB/s, 8 MB buffer and a 12 ms access time. Other goodies included with the drive are WD Sync which not only syncs up your files but encrypts them as well, and Google software to help you track down your files. It also talks nicely to Macs as well.

This certainly looks like yet another winner from the boys over at WD.
