    Desktop users who need a portable drive will find the My Passport Elite endearing, although the dock could stand to be a little more user friendly.

    Specs: 480 Mbps

  • WD My Passport Essential SE 1TB

  • LaCie Starck Mobile

    LaCie clearly spent a lot of time designing the look and feel of the Starck Mobile Hard Drive, but it trips up on the basic essentials like weight, ease of use, cost per gigabyte and transfer speed.

    Specs: USB 2.0 , Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7/Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 or higher , 60 Mbps
