I'm looking into a new external, mainly for backup purposes. I'd been focusing on the MyPassport and FreeAgent series, but then I stumbled upon a WD Elements 640 GB on the Egg for only $99.99. The Elements models look ideal for me: cheaper but only slightly larger than the Passports, and still powered via a single USB port. However, I can't seem to find much information about them and it seems not a lot of retailers even carry them. Anyone here have one? If so, comments on reliability, speed, etc.?
 
I have a 500GB WD Elements desktop version. I searched high and low for this drive. Finally found it at Target. The Elements series is awesome because it includes no crap! Many new WD drives (and Seagates have hidden partitions that you need special software to remove.

I HIGHLY recommend the WD Elements series. They are fast and realible.
