The WD My Passport 5TB portable hard drive is down to $99.99 on Amazon. The My Passport lineup was updated late last year with the previous version long having been considered one of the best values in portable drives, and this new version has lived up to the reputation. However, since releasing last October there have not been a lot of sales at this level. The drive dropped to today's price a couple of times last year and did go a tad lower very briefly for Black Friday but this is the first solid savings since then. It retails for $150 and averages over $120 so you're getting a good deal no matter how you look at it. You can also get this deal at Best Buy.
