About seven months ago I decided to buy myself a new hard-drive, just in time for going to University. I loved my old 250GB hard-drive and have decided to get myself another WD hard-drive with bigger space (500GB) as I figured with all the essay's I would be writing I'd need the extra GB.

I loved my old 250GB hard-drive and have decided to get myself another WD hard-drive with bigger space (500GB). Personally, I liked the old version better, but this is... not bad. It serves its purpose of allowing you to backup large amount of data - in a stylish, lightweight and even slimmer portable device, with four small rubber fleets that keeps the drive in place.
