    Hey guys. I'll be going to Target early this Thursday and saw that they have this:

    Western Digital Elements 500GB external hard drive for $87.99.
    Model: WDE1U5000


    Anyone use one of these before?
    How is it performance wise?


    I ask because I could not find legitimate reviews. Thanks for the help.

    Try newegg for reviews..

    Looks like a great deal for $87! You should have at least a 1 year warranty like my plastic WD Mybook and it looks like you can do an easy drive swap unlike either of my freeagent or mybook which requires tedious effort.
