| The Bottom Line | Western Digital's Passport Portable External Hard Drive lets you take a lot of data on the road for a low price. | The Seagate FreeAgent Go is our favorite portable hard drive to date and takes our award for Editors' Choice. The drive is well designed and fast, and you won't find a better value for the price. | While other external hard drives offer built-in backup software, automatic data encryption, or rugged casing protection, the Transcend StoreJet 25F only promises, and delivers, the fastest data transfers at the lowest price. The missing FireWire prevents us from giving this Transcend an Editors' Choice award, but we still highly recommend this drive to storage hounds who don't mind USB 2.0. | Western Digital's Passport Portable External Hard Drive lets you take a lot of data on the road for a low price. | |
