Mind that if you use password protection, you'll most likely (I don't know this for sure) have to install software on each computer you want to use it with, the backup thingy... well for me, I can backup my own stuff...
But mind that the casing itself is different too, just get the thing you like most on sight, you'll have to use it a lot.
Personally I would go for a 1TB 2.5" HDD, with the best looks / smallest & strongest casing, and I don't really need the software.
Edit: It seems the 1TB Samsung Drive is 100 Euro and the 1TB WD Drive (+Software) is 130 Euro... Just watched the video from WD, the software looks quite OK to me, but the question is: Are you -really- going to use it?. Or will thee drive be nothing more then a Data Dump?
