Big convenience!
I love my drive!!! Its super portable and easy to use. I go to a digital art college where you cant live without an external drive. Flash sticks are too small and larger externals are too bulky.brbrIve actually gone through 2 large external drives before purchasing this one and the problem is the power cord. Not only was it a hassle to look for a free outlet but they are so easy to trip over. The first time I tripped over it and the second time someone else tripped over it both drives gone... ...

Compact, sleek and works great
Works with my PCs and Macbook. (Make sure you are using the correct USB plug on your Mac laptop. Not all of the USB outlets in Mac laptops have sufficient power to drive an external drive. Read the manual to find which is which).
No review for the included software. Since most of my experience with softwares that comes with products like camera, external drives are rarely satisfactory, software was not installed in the first place.
Pros:
- Lowest price I fou...

Small and quiet
-software package prevents me from giving this a 5 star review.
The drive comes in a shiny black plastic case which appears to be very vulnerable to scratches. The drive has a small connectivity/activity LED light at the back of the unit so you can tell if it is on and functioning. Included with the drive is a couple of nearly useless programs. Seagate's Free agent software included with their drive is a bit more useful then this although if you are really serious about backing up...

Very fast, reliable drive
Ive had it for about a week only but it is anexcellent drive. Ive synced two laptops with the WDSYNC software included its very intuitive and you can select to automatically back up My Documents your IE or any other major web browser favorites and the data from your mail email program. And 320 GB is quite a lot of space for a protable USB powered drive. It looks very stylish although the feeling is a little bit lets say plastic but on the plus side it also means that is lighter than othersturdi...

Quiet, Easy to Use, and SUPER Small ... An Amazing Product!
The Western Digital Passport reduced my 388 CD rack to a pocket-sized miracle. Likewise, all the photos, lesson plans, and Power-Point presentations that were cluttering my computer are now on my Passport.
Here's the low-down. I was a bit worried that I might have difficultly setting-up this little guy. My fears were alleviated in about 15 seconds. About a month ago, I downgraded from Vista to XP and had NO PROBLEMS with the installation of this product ... whatsoever (seems some pe...

Nice drive
I have this drive for about half-a year now. It is recognized both by Windows XP and Mac OS X (Leopard). I did not use any software to do backups, just grab the files myself and drag them to the drive, or use a script (.bat file). Operation is exceptionally simple: you connect it - it is recognized by the computer, you use it, and then use disconnect/eject command (I am guilty of not always doing this, but no problems so far) and disconnect it. The drive comes in a soft case, does not have a...

How to take the drive out
Tech Level: high
Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Cheap. The hard drive inside is WD3200BEVT 320G 8M cache, SATA-2, which by itself sells for more than the price of this enclosure. After I swapped it into my Thinkpad T60, the read speed is higher than 60MB/s! And to assure you guys eager to try - I am able to use my old 80GB Samsung drive in this one. Very reliable. After I took it apart I found the inside ...

Disappointing data transfer rate, although improved from the older generation Passport HDD
This product is indeed excellent for its intended purpose, other than the data transfer rate. I realized that this review is listed as most helpful *critical* review. Although I urge the manufacturer to improve the data transfer rate to match that achieved by some competitors, I don't mean to discourage potential buyers.
One improvement made compared to an older version of Passport is that this drive spins down during inactivity. The previous ones (mine is 120GB in silver color case...
