WD Passport Now Available at 320GB

Western Digital announced that its new 320GB
capacity WD Passport Portable Drives are now available at select retailers
and this week at WD’s online store. This sharp
increase in storage capacity puts almost a third of a terabyte of digital
storage in the palm of your hand.

WD Passport Portable Drives have become popular worldwide for their
plug-and-play capability, stylish, ultra-portable design, and sleek
piano-black finish. At less than five ounces, this lightweight drive fits
neatly in a pocket or backpack and is the perfect gadget to back up today’s
increasingly large files.

WD Sync software allows consumers to take desktop content with them by
simplifying the synchronization of essential personal files and Microsoft Outlook data on a PC. Should owners misplace the drive, they know their
data is protected with 128-bit encryption. Google software on the drive
allows users to quickly locate files with the Google Desktop Search search
tool, manage photos with Picasa photo organizer software and simplify Web
searches with the Google Toolbar search bar.

"The need for travel-friendly storage devices continues to be an area that
is growing immensely with the advent of rich media content generated by
consumers," said Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD’s branded
products group. "It’s not only music that’s consuming space on desktops.
Higher resolution pictures and HD videos eat up storage very quickly so we’re
excited to make a portable 320 GB solution available for consumers on the
move.

WD Passport Portable Drives and WD Passport carrying cases are available
now at select retail stores and are expected this week at WD’s online store. MSRP for the WD Passport Portable Drive 320GB is $229.99 USD.
