WillItStand? MyPassport

Welcome friends to our newest atraction: “Will it stand?”
For this first match, lets pit my external hard-drive “MyPassport“,from Western Digital against my passport (a brazillian pre-mercosul passport):

The contenders:

Their physical features:

MyPassport: Sleek, black case with a single light , a WD logo and a USB port. What else could you ask?
My passport: Green with golden details at the cover. Inside there is some old pictures of me and data. a Canadian Visa and nothing else.

Who’s got this round? MyPassport is sleek , thin and silent, but my passport is thinner , noiseless, lightless and doesnt even need the usb connection for data retrieval

Their habilities
MyPassport: fast startup and a nice amount of volatile cache grants a great performance. I can even play UT2004-linux from it without a single hit in the performance. I can carry 160GB of data with no sweat.

my passport: ~10 pages of small fairly good quality paper. I could probably visit ~7 countries without a ressuie. But theres nothing much else about it.

who’s got this round: MyPassport is certainly a winner here. It can even carry ultrahigh resolution scans of my passport inside it!

without it:
MyPassport: All my media, my important documents and my past projects are stored inside it. Without it, Im screwed. I need to get dozens of old unreliable backup DVDs and re-sort them. It would basicly throw me back to 2002.

my passport: Inside my country, no problem at all. Somewhere else, Im illegal.

this round:A draw. Either way, Im screwed.

The winner? A draw. Both are very important to me.
