Western Digital's Slim Passport

Western Digital also gets in on the colors game, moving beyond its signature piano black Passport Portable USB Hard Drive to add several varietals: bright green (120GB, $120), metallic red (160GB, $140, pictured here), and glossy white (250GB, $250). The black model comes in those capacities as well as in 60GB ($80) and 80GB ($100); where they overlap, the color models cost the same as the black, but are sold only via Western Digital's Web site or Best Buy. The Passport drive is slim, with a small status light indicator on the side. The drive comes with utilities, including WD Sync synchronization software with 128-bit AES encryption and Google's Toolbar, Desktop, and Picasa software; the utilities are stored on the drive itself.
