4 out of 5 stars So far so good   July 5, 2008
I've had this product a little while and have used it a small amount. So far it's worked fairly well. The only problem I've had with it is that when I tried to remove some files from the Passport, it deleted them from my computer's hard drive too. Luckily I had them backed up on another CD so I didn't lose them for good, or it could've been pretty devistating. So be on guard!
Besides that, it's worked out pretty well for me so far.



5 out of 5 stars GREAT VALUE   July 3, 2008

So much memory for what you pay. The software is so easy to install, great for transporting my music/videos/pics. Durable, trendy, highly recommended.


1 out of 5 stars Dont Buy..!! Capacity is much lessar than mention...!!   June 28, 2008

Please dont buy any Western Digital Passport.. First check there capacity chart. As they using 1000 MB = 1GB and not 1024MB=1GB. Which is eating lost and lost of your space.


5 out of 5 stars Compact Memory Storage   June 23, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

THe WD Passport external hard drive is light weight, compact, and easy to carry around. I have other external hard drives but I find myself using this one the most because it is easy.

Thus far I've not had a problem with it getting power through the USB cable but my laptop batteries rarely get run down below 50% reserve. Most of the time my laptop is plugged into an AC outlet.

This is great to store pictures, movies, or any data you don't wish to put on your hard drive or comes from another machine.



5 out of 5 stars For MacOS 10.3.9   June 23, 2008
 2 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is a great little backup drive. I use the older MacOS 10.3.9 on a 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. The drive is (all but) completely compatible! I recommend reformatting the drive for Mac users; the PC filter hic-cups on special characters and other Mac eccentricities! No power cord, no transformer, just a USB 2.0 plug. A great little drive for the money!
