Western Digital outs My Passport Edge portable hard drives, offers both PC and Mac varieties
Posted in: Today's Chili 
New portable storage options from Western Digital are breaking cover once again. This time around, the outfit has announced the My Passport Edge and My Passport Edge for Mac. These external hard drives tout USB 3.0 connectivity and 500GB capacities for packing those work files or carrying that Springsteen collection with you at all times. As the name of the Apple-labeled option suggests, it’s well suited for your MacBook and works alongside Time Machine right out of the box — all from the comforts of an aluminum shell. The premium exterior and Mac-friendly tech will cost you a bit more, though, as this version is priced at $119 while the regular offering will set you back $109. If you’re looking to save a few bones and don’t mind a plastic housing, you can take solace in the fact that the PC unit features an automatic backup function thanks to WD’s SmartWare. The pair is available now, but if you’re looking for a bit more info, consult the full PR below.

Most portable storage devices like external hard drives are not the best lookers around when it comes to design, but ADATA has a statement to make with their latest offering, the ADATA DashDrive HV610 USB 3.0 External Hard Drive. I guess that taking a glance at it, you would surely agree that this is a fashionable puzzle piece design that comes with its very own slide-out smart cover that adds to the overall convenience, considering how this is a novel method of storing the transmission cable when it is not in use.
