Forgot to mention, it's a laptop (Vaio S15). So, perhaps the 'portability' will be a deciding factor. Will I face any problems playing games from the 2.5" external HDDs?
Also, are there any performance differences b/w 'My Passport' and 'My Passport Essential'?
As I've replaced my internal 750gb 5400rm HDD with a 120gb SSD (Corsair Force GT), I'll now be needing a fast enough external HDD for movies/games playback and storage. Have shortlisted these two (one being 2.5", while the other one being a 3.5" drive):

Also how's this:

Hey folks!
I just got a 120 gb sata 3 ssd ( Corsair Force 3 GT), and have been enjoying the boot times and the epic responsiveness of my system. The only problem is the size :C
I really need an external 1 tb drive now, fast enough to play games/movies from it directly and shouldn't be...
Just wanted to know if it's safe to game on battery (high performance mode)? Also, if I keep the notebook connected to ac even when the battery's 100% charged, does it reduce the battery life / result in degradation of battery?
Seems most of you guys are waiting for stable drivers, there you go: v301.42 Windows 7/Vista 64bit | NVIDIA Mobile OEM - 30x Series GeForce Driver release - LaptopVideo2Go Forums
As you can see, it does support gt650m, and for me (640m LE) it increased my 3dmark 11 score from 2390 to 2410. Not...
Nah, even 640m le is based on kepler architecture. In fact, 640m LE, 640m and 650m all have the same number of shader cores with different core clocks (former two being slightly downclocked). And therefore, 640m/le can easily be overclocked to 650m speeds while maintaining decent temps. (<80)
I never said MW2 is demanding... It's the only game I currently have on my SSD, will transfer Ghost recon future soldier, MP3, Arkham City and Bf3 from my HDD soon.
Nope, I upgraded from a 750gb 5400rpm sata II HDD to a 120gb Force 3 GT sata III SSD on my Sony Vaio SVS15116GN (SVS15116GN : S Series : VAIO™ Laptop & Computer : Sony India).
Guess that explains it all...
Overclocked to 975mhz core / 1100mhz memory (higher clocks than 650m). Temps after an hour of mw2 @ 1080p.
FYI: I've still not incremented the voltage.
It's sata III @ 6 gbps on vaio s15's HM77 chipset. You just need a compatible hdd/ssd to run at those speeds though.
