See the beautiful portable storage solutions pictured below? They're Western Digital's latest My Passport Essential hard drives, and we've got five of them to give away to five lucky readers!

The 110mm x 83mm x 15mm drive might be ultra-small, lightweight and highly-portable, but it also offers a roomy 500GB capacity as well as SuperSpeed USB 3.0 connectivity.

It's backward-compatible with USB 2.0, of course, so users can expect compatibility today and next-generation speed for tomorrow, and each and every My Passport Essential drive comes bundled with Western Digital's SmartWare backup utility.

The drive is pre-formatted as NTFS for compatibility with Microsoft Windows, but it also supports Mac OS X, and it's completely bus-powered so you don't need to worry about carrying around bulky power adaptors. Western Digital's providing everything you need to get started in high-speed portable storage, all you need to do is answer this simple question:

A) FireWire and eSATA
B) USB 2.0 and USB 3.0
