Western Digital introduces some class into its Passport Elite portable hard drive, featuring a soft-touch finish that makes it easier to hold and does not make you stand out as a geek since it ain't half bad lookin to begin with. There will only be 250GB and 320GB models available, featuring a miniUSB port for both data and power purposes, a quartet of LEDs to let you know just how much free space there is left in the unit and 128-bit encryption software for greater privacy should you happen to leave the Passport Elite unguarded. The Passport Elite will retail for $170 and $200 for the 250GB and 320GB models, respectively.
