 Compact Size & Quiet Operation Make it Nice for Travel January 2, 2009
I purchased one of these a few months ago overall have been very happy with it. Here are some pros & cons:
Positive Aspects:
-----------------
- Very small size. This is especially nice for travel.
- Very quiet.
- USB powered. No external power supply required.
- Western Digital is the manufacturer. I have found Western Digital equipment to be very reliable.
- Windows XP automatically recognized the drive and installed it.
- Affordable price for a large compact drive.
Negative Aspects:
-----------------
- Data transfer rate was not terribly fast, especially when transferring large files.
- Came formatted Fat32. I had to reformat it NTFS, as I frequently transfer files larger than 2 GB, and Fat32 does not support this. This of course is not a problem with the drive. Fat32 was obviously used so it could be used across multiple platforms.
Overall I found it to be a very good piece of hardware. I would recommend it to anyone that wants a physically small drive to transfer files or for travel.

Smart choice December 30, 2008

I got this HD with possible Army use in mind. I wanted something compact, durable and large enough to fit map files which run in tens of gigs.
WD Passport is a good choice and I'll describe the reasons below.
This model has one cable to power/connect to internet. The cable is a standard mini-usb, a very common type. this can not be overstated because this feature alone gives it flexibility, portability, and makes it very user friendly. I own another, older external HD by western digital which as a power cable, and a separate computer cable and its a whole different story.
I bought mine for 90 to 100 dollars in may 2008, which is an excellent deal.
Secondary features are size - its small and fits in side a backpack easy. Has bright LED light that ensures I know when its on. Does not require drivers to plug into PCs. (do not recall if I needed anything for mac though). On the back I used the space to write my name in a permanent marker, in case I violated security and lost it somewhere.
It looks attractive, white with blue LED is a great combination. I think mac users and other white laptop users will be pleasantly surprised when they put it next to their machine.
Features I'd like to see:
+password protection. I'd like to have a lock on my HD where a pin is needed to enter it.
+gps tracker capability. i'd like high end models to be trackable in case they are lost.
+rubber case to cushion falls.
Made Christmas a little less merry December 29, 2008

I received this as a Christmas gift, and none of my laptops will even recognize it. So I wouldn't trust it to back up my files even if I could somehow get it recognized. Now that I'm reading the other one-star reviews, I see that it has power issues. I won't be buying anything from this manufacturer.
