Hey guys! Im just in the process of transferring data across some computers and Im using my old WD dual-option external HD. Personally, I dont like the thing anymore. Doesnt look too nice and it seems to "off" for some reason. SOOOO, Im looking into buying a new HD.
After some research I think I like the WD passport 250gb. Would this be a good choice? Im mainly going to be using it as an external for my laptop (ASUS G2S) and then used for transferring files over here and there sometimes. C.City has them for $130.

Any thoughts? Recommendations?
Also, that drive is a 5400rpm one. Since Im only going to be using it as extra space for my laptop and so forth would that 5400 be enough or should I look into a 7200 one?
 
The Passports are nice as they are 2.5" and don't require a power cable as they are powered though the USB. IIRC, you will be limited to USB speeds, so the faster spindle speed will be negated. If I am wrong here, someone please correct me as I don't remember.
