I'll be going to Costco to pick one up and swap it with my PS3's 250GB drive.]]>Sep 15th 2008 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 16th 2008 9:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 10:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/The past 5 years 3 disks have failed on me and I've been hearing the same from numerous people.
Apparently the demand for larger external hard disks is high - does that mean that there is not time for quality control?]]>Sep 15th 2008 10:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/

It costs a small premium, but get a different brand people. Seagate is great, but any other brand would be preferable.]]>Sep 15th 2008 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 3:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/
Does anyone know whether or not these are bus powered? Or for that matter, does anyone know how to determine if ANY particular hard drive can be bus powered?

(The reason I ask is I just purchased a 160GB seagate for my Nextstar3 hard drive enclosure, and it won't work via USB - Very disappointing I might add)]]>Sep 15th 2008 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 1:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/Sep 15th 2008 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/15/western-digital-expectedly-adds-500gb-my-passport-drives/
