5 of 5 What A Deal Monday, April 21, 2008
A. Johnson from Washington, DC
This is not just an external hard drive; it's my new best friend. Western Digital found an incredible way to encorporate style, functionality, and power into a very well made product that was a breeze to install. I'm a musician, so now I can create my songs on computer and back it up with my passport or simply save it and take it with me and conncet it to another computer to share my songs with other musicians. You can use the passport on the go, on the fly, or simply at home as a means to back up important files, or even your entire hard drive. I love that it's no power cord. Was this review helpful?  
5 of 5 Great Product with great price Friday, April 18, 2008
A Customer from Renton, WA
I am tranfering department and this was ordered to backup all my personal files. I have set to backup all the data from 4 different server and it works great.
Very nice looking and quiet operation.
250G gives you some lag room for future use.
Highly recommanded Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Good Monday, April 14, 2008

5 of 5 So far so good Monday, March 17, 2008
A Customer from Chicago, IL
This is being used as a backup drive, so it isn't used on a regular basis. So with the limited amount of use it has received, it has performed as expected. The preloaded software was a thirty day trial, and was promptly deleted. The case could be sturdier, but suffices. The size and styling can't be beat. Some have claimed that a single USB port does not provide enough power for the drive; this is not the case with a Dell Vostro 1500. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Wonderful Monday, February 18, 2008
Addison from San Jose, CA
I was looking for a relatively high capacity external drive that didn't require an AC adapter. This is wonderful. Not much else to say. Worked upon plugging in the USB; transfers files at about 20MB/s Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 Great Back Up Drive Sunday, January 06, 2008
A Customer from NY, NY
This 250gb WD Passport is my favorite of all the USB powered drives I own. It's easily recognized by both my XP Pro & Vista PC's and unlike another brand it did not give my PC the blue screen of death.
I also like that it's quiet, lightweight and incredibly small.
The only thing I wish was included by WD is a basic pouch for it. The case scratches easily which shows up really well on the shiny black surface. WD offers one for sale for about $20. Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Lots of storage on the go Wednesday, December 12, 2007
A Customer from Hoboken NJ
So far I am happy with the hd. I have had many of the smaller versions of the drive. I bought many of the 160GB versions and removed the drive to install in PCs and used the smaller drives as the ext disk. The only thing I do not like is that the plastic enclosure can snap it's clips when removing, if you plan on keeping the drive in the case then no worries. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Was FAT out of the box Tuesday, December 11, 2007
K. Haig from Mobile, Al
I would have given this product all fives except the unit came configured as a FAT drive with limited size partitions. I found this out when I attemped to back up my entire laptop. The reformat to a no partition drive (NST??) was not very difficult, but I would have preferred for the drive to be non partitioned out of the box. Knowing this up front will hopefully save someone else some time if they attempt to save a large amount of data without first reformatting the drive. How to reformat is shown on the instructions... be sure to read them before you use the device.
After reformat, the drive has performed without a problem. I did not have a power problem with my Dell 505 laptop as reported on some other reviews. Was this review helpful?
