The famous WD Passport external hard drive is now available with 320GB storage capacity! The firm today rolled out the new version just in time for holidays so that media geeks can treat themselves with a high capacity portable drive. 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.

"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."

The WD Passport Portable Drive 320GB is now available for $230.
