Western Digital kicks off sale on My Book, My Passport portable hard drives

The boys of October are in full swing. The air is a bit crisper, and there are leaves changing colors (at least in some parts of the country). You know what all this means: It's obviously time to start thinking about holiday shopping.

Terrible, I know. But Western Digital is kicking off the autumn season with a special sale of fallen prices. (Pun intended.)

Some of the sales include:

• My Book 3.0 1TB portable HDD for $149.99 (Regular price: $199.99)
• My Book Elite 1TB portable HDD for $99.99 (Regular price: $139.99)
• My Passport Essential 320GB HDD for $79.99 (Regular price: $89.99)

These temporarily-low prices are available online only until October 25. There's also free shipping on all orders over $100, which shouldn't be that hard to pull off.

This is only the beginning of sales, so don't feel bad if you miss out on this one (even though that My Book with USB 3.0 connectivity sounds pretty sweet). Be sure to look for our special Black Friday guide that will be published in the coming weeks...
