Western Digital has announced My Passport Elite, a new portable hard drive which is available in a 250BG and 350GB storage capacity. WD is touting this new portable hard drive as easy to grip, comfortable to hold and a beautiful device to show off to your friends. But the best part perhaps of this new portable hard drive is its size which is small enough to fit in one’s pocket.

Could you imagine yourself having 320GB of photos, audio and video files inside your pocket? Even more absurd and yet useful is the fact that you can carry it anywhere you go and plug it into any compatible PC and laptop anytime, anywhere? That’s definitely putting a lot of value to the price you have to pay for a nifty little device such as the WD Passport Elite. That price is actually $169.99 for the 250GB and $199.99 for the 350GB. If you have the budget, you can get both and have a massive 600GB of storage capacity.
