I'm looking to buy a portable hdd, and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions. I currently have a 160gig portable hdd, but its a quite large and clunky and requires an ac adaptor.
Anybody have any suggestions for a portable hdd that is fairly small, doesn't need a power supply, and has decent amounts of space (preferably over 100, but 80 or so might be tolerable).
I was thinking something along the lines of this:

But if anybody has any better suggestions that'd be great. :)

For that price, you can get a 160GB Western Digital.

This is a 5400RPM model, while the one you posted was only 4200.
Personally I like the Seagate and Western Digital hard drives. They both are probably the best on the market, not to mention that Western Digital looks pretty slick.

Am I right in saying that Newegg doesn't ship to Canada? Thanks though Neophyte, that one looks great. Any other good websites you know of that I could order from in Canada? I'll look for one but if you have any suggestions about that as well... :)
edit:
ughhhh tried amazon and they apparently can't ship these items to my address :(

Yeah, Newegg doesn't ship to Canada. =(
Ncix is a great Canadian website to order computer parts from. They can really have some nice deals out there.

Some of their portable hard drives can be found here.

Oh shit, NCIX is sweet. Thanks for the link Neophyte, I've been using TigerDirect forever and they rape you on taxes and shipping (though the Canadian government is just as much to blame).
