Western Digital Bumps Passport Drives to 250 GB


WD's biggest notebook drive gets enclosed

In addition to shipping its 750 GB Caviar drive this week, WD is also sending out its new 250 GB Passport portable drives. While WD’s MyBook line will give the user more storage space, it also does so at the cost of a larger form factor.

WD Passports use 2.5-inch hard drives, allowing for their plug-and-play, ultra-portable design. WD announced last month that its launch of the 250 GB Scorpio notebook hard drive – a product that paved the way for the latest Passport.

"The rich, storage-hungry media content generated by 10 mega-pixel digital cameras and HD video camcorders makes the one-quarter terabyte WD Passport Drive a compelling solution," said Jim Welsh, vice president and general manager of WD's branded products group. "WD Passport is a travel-friendly gadget for consumers who want to carry their entire digital portfolio with them."

Estimated pricing for the WD Passport Portable Drive 250 GB is $199, or roughly the same pricing as the 250 GB Scorpio.
