    Just picked up a Toshiba Canvio 320GB portable hard drive at Office Depot today for $40 - good while supplies last. Don't know how good the quality is, I just want to load my Itunes library on it,won't be unwrapping it till this weekend!
    I also have the WD Elements 320 GB hard drive,bought it about 6 months ago and it works ok-just a basic hard drive like the Toshiba.
    If anyone knows where to get an inexpensive padded case for these small hard drives please post.
