I've looked at pics on a few sites and I can't tell if it'll be easy to remove the drive. I know the WD Passports are easy, but I've read that some cases are essentially destroyed getting the drive out.
Its currently at JR.com, PC Connection and Buy.com for $99, Free Shipping.

My mom had one of those Porsche external drive that I ended up "breaking into" to get the drive out. It was really annoying.

Yeah, $100 is a decent price, but for $10 more for a bare drive you get a warranty...

Either way I need a case, and so far I've found it convenient to buy the WD Passports and swap out from my Macbook. I suppose I could buy the case separately, but that's $20 or such and then I'm paying $30 for a warranty on a $100 product.
I'm not sure I like the idea of the built-in USB cable on this one, plus the above comment about 'breaking in' so I think I'll pass. I sadly missed PC Connection's $99 deal on the LaCie 500GB 2.5 in a rugged FW800 case last week. Surprised that didn't show up here.

Porsche Design drives just required some credit card slidin' in the bottoms.

Porsche cases were EASY to open - don't even need a screwdriver - so is this little disk, but you do need a screwdriver.
built in usb is handy, but I prefer the firewire/usb model
it should come with a USB extension cable if that's what worries you.
