I am going to Chile for a few months. I am wanting to invest in a 500+GB portable hard drive for music and movies for my trip. I also want it to be power over USB. No external power needed. What would be a good one? I would like to buy it from Newegg.
Thanks,
Kyle Paddock

This was a very nice unit and is ideal for traveling due to how thin it is... Only kicker is that it is 320GB and $80

I like the Segate more but at 5400 RPM is that a little slow?

This is what I am looking at. I would like to be able to plug it into my Transformer tablet if possible.
