  This is the same one I got from HN for $145 months ago and am currently watching a movie on :)

  Can get it cheaper online from what I remember too.. $130 minimum I believe?

    Currently $US 123 plus postage on Amazon.

    When the Aussie dollar was riding high then this would have been a steal, but with current value of the dollar you're probably better just grabbing it from JB

  Interesting.. how does it compare with Passport? What's the difference besides form factor?

    My general observation - WD Element is usually cheaper than its Passport counterpart. I don't know the reason though.

      I think it's something to do with the encrypted security that comes with the hard drive.

      The Passport is nicer looking…..

        Is it still the same drive inside though?

    The Elements line doesn't have the difficult/impossible to remove "SmartWare" that the My Passport line does.

      Doesn't formatting get rid of that?

  In terms of security, can I say element is better than passport?
