The blue one is the new style/ model. They have software that you cannot get rid of. Also, it has a virtual drive that autoplays when connected. Nuisance!!! Originally Posted by teknoluv

I am waiting for the 1TB 2.5" HD and will do it myself by purchasing a case for 2.5" HD, rather than buying it like this. You end up with a lower cost overall + you get to choose what HD and case you want.
WD has a 1TB 2.5" HD, but at $300. Too much. Reply With Quote
