    Just picked up a WD Passport this weekend to store my Acronis True Image backups on. Its such a great drive. There is no power cord. It uses only 1 usb port. Plugged it in and it just worked. No hassle. I deleted the utilitys on it so it was a bare drive and was set to go. It's even small enough to fit in your pocket.

    I would suggest this drive to anyone.

    amazon has it for a good price too
