I just bought 3 of the 1TB My Passport Ultra's from Amazon because they were at a good price... I've had their portable drives before and they've always lasted.. I use them mostly for sending files to friends.

Here is a good chart on Amazon that shows the difference. That hardware encryption mentioned is not supported on Macs, so just get whichever of the three is cheapest.

are any of these western digital drives 7200 rpm ? I can't find listing whether it says if they are 5400 or 7200 rpm .

I don't see it in the specs, but I would bet money they are all 5400. Almost all these portable drives like this are 5400.

Assemble your own portable drive. You may need 2 free USB ports in your computer.
