    Sold out online. The store in my area still has stock today. Hopefully it'll still have stock when I go down tomorrow.

    Thanks for the headsup.

    Ditto.

    Read the reviews on it. Looks promising. I'll have to get one myself. This is about 2.3GB per dollar. :D

    The black WD250 passports at the BB I checked out were going for $94.99. Clearance. They don't appear on the ads, neither do they appear on the website. I got one.

    I got this drive about 5 months ago. Paid 150 for it. Its solid. It comes with a really short usb cable. Do not change it to a long one though, it wont get enough power for the drive.

    I have the 160GB version of it which I paid around $100 for. I just actually picked up this drive because it is such a good value. If I don't use it as an external i'll just crack open the case and use it as a internal drive :)
