Friend of mine went to Best Buy and bought a 60 gig WD USB for 80 bucks. It does not need a power cord, just power thru the USB.

But is there some reason that the MicroGem is more money for less storage? Is it a better drive? Or is there a DIFFERENT brand in the same price range that you would recommend. BTW, I would be backing up to and restoring from it weekly, at least. Thanks a bunch!
