Yup...  The Hard drive junkie has been got again. But I couldn't pass this one up due to how nice the first one of these I bought is working.

Western Digital My Passport Essential SE 1TB USB 3.0/USB 2.0 Black Portable Hard Drive

For those interested. You can get one of these for $89.99 till June 8th if'n you use the promo code EMCKDKH48 during checkout.
Massive amount of portable storage for minimal price.

Excellent deal!  Especially considering I paid $140 for the first one ( 6 months ago? ).

They also come in Silver, Blue and Red. 

I was looking at those, but need to pay off the medicals first.

If you want an internal, Tiger Direct has a 1TB for $39

$39?  Must be a seagate branded drive.  I've never had one of their drives last much longer than the 1yr warranty.

I buy Western Digital drives for a few reasons.  If they run more than a month (Every maker can have some questionables squeak past testing)  they'll run at least 4 years in most cases. I've only had one WD drive die in under 4 years of use. Better performance than the Seagate offerings.   

I've got all the internal drives I can plug in.  500gb system drive and 3.75TB worth for storing the movie collection.

These little external drives are quite nice. Good performance for a USB connected device, No power brick to cart around. And I REALLY need to have something for a backup of the collection..  Eventually I'll wind up with 4 or 5 of these little bastids. Lot easier to pack around than the big HDDs should I decide to take a road trip and want to take some entertainment with me. I can stash a LOT of these little passport drives in the notebook's bag.  Trying to take the other drives involves more power bricks and rather large cases to mount them in.

I've been looking forward to and keeping an eye on this one for quite a while.
