This external hard drive has 320GB of storage space—perfect for gamers who frequent LAN parties, DJs who need a central music depository, or anyone who wants some attention-grabbing storage for their photos, videos, music files, or data. What really differentiates this drive from all others are the internal flashing lights, which look like something right out of Tokyo Drift. The WD Extreme is ringed with colored LED-powered light tubes. (It reminds me of the LED pens found in souvenir shops all over the world.) You can change the speed at which the colors switch, or "lock" it on a specific hue you like. You can also set different lighting modes for when the drive is "on" or "off.""</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/westerndigitallightedcombo.jpg" /><br /><br />Not a bad deal at $250. However, I prefer the quiet unflashy drives myself. I don't see any fans on the drive cage though, I wonder how hot it runs.
