A WD drive is a super choice , i use the 160 GB model and the backup application included does a neat job. In fact if utilized fully you can work on your files on another PC directly on the WD drive and "Sync" the changes to your PC/Laptop once you are back ! The only problem is for some machines you may need a USB which draws power from 2 USB sources and the WD cost of the cable is rather high. I am sure any little shop in India will have this cable. Why the Drive needs additional power on some machines i do not have a idea.
