The Western Digital Passport Portable External Hard Drive is the perfect device for those looking for a balance between portability and storage space. This offering from Western Digital shares roughly the same dimensions as a passport and connects to any PC via a mini USB cable. Being bus-powered means there is no need to lug around a heavy adapter, while preloaded applications such as Google's desktop software and WD Sync synchronization-and-encryption software makes getting the Passport up and running a breeze. At $130, the Passport Portable External Hard Drive looks set to be a much better alternative compared to USB flash drives when it comes to working with large files.
