Do you start deleting your pictures and your memories or do you start with the long-drawn and cumbersome process of writing CDs and DVDs? Here's a smart move - gift WD My Passport Slim external hard disk to your Valentine. WD My Passport Slim is the first 2TB thin drive with a very contemporary metal case and hardware encryption.
