NewEgg.com has the SimpleTech Signature Mini Ice 500GB External USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (2.5" Form Factor) for $120 with free shipping. The bounty within is a 12.5mm thick drive, which will not fit in laptops.

    I have the 320GB version of this and is not as fast or quite as I hoped.

    It's probably bottlenecked by USB.

    I have this and I like it. No complaints from me. It's a portable drive that powers off of USB.. 5200RPM is standard.

    I've got a couple laptops that accommodate 12.5mm drives just fine, thanks. Of course, they all require BIOS overlay software to recognize anything beyond 528MB, but hey, I'm not complaining!
