 Great product~ Dec 21, 2008
By J. Pietras
Between me and my wife we own three WD Passports. I've been waiting for them to finally come out with a 500gb drive and it does not disappoint. It's bus powered for everyone's convenience. Enjoy it. I'm actually debating on buying a second 500gb.

Excellent Little Drive Feb 10, 2009
By C. Germany
"CollectsDragons"
I bought this drive because I saw one that my friend owned. LOVED IT. The software is for people that need to "sink" up their data on multiple computers. I just did not install the software and use the hard drive as an external hard drive. It is wonderful! Small, easy to use. The USB cable is a little short but for most cases that is just fine. I have not tried it with a longer cable yet. I have actually already dropped the drive and it had NO impact. All my data was just fine. I bought a small neoprene case to carry it around and works great. Just can't say enough about this.

Excellent plug-n-play hard drive Jan 07, 2009
By Andrew Bauer
Recently, I had to get a new computer, and it came with the newer Windows Vista, instead of the XP I was used to. I had an older portable hard drive, and had a lot of problems with it as far as being able to acccess it. Western Digital has always been a top name in hard drives (I've had several over the years), so I decided to try one of theirs. This drive not only solved all of my problems that I'd had, it was faster by far than my old one. It's small enough to carry around in your pocket, and automatically links up to any computer I plug it into. I've been able to take all my files with me to show pictures to people at work, or my friends, with no problems at all. If you need extra space, or a back-up for your main drive, you can't beat this hard drive for ease of use, speed, or price. Highly recommend!

Excellent Idiot-Proof Drive Sep 15, 2009
By Jeffrey Osborn
Okay, it's kinda pretty. Whatever!
I initially bought this to store multi-media files for my Western Digital TV device.
However, it came with the the same excellent idiot-proof back-up software as my 16 GIG Sandisk USB flash drives, except now I can back-up up to 500 GIG. It can back up all of your Outlook items as well as any/all of your HD folders.
It only requires 1 USB interface rather than 2 which some of my other externals require.
Liked it for backing up so much that I bought a red one (so I could tell them apart) for the TV.
Highly recommended at Amazon prices.
Plus you get the sealed retail package with a nice short 18" USB cable. Most geeks probably have 3 - 4 footers cluttering up their spare parts boxes, these are nice to place next to your USB hub and remove when you are done. Or you can leave them attached to charge your cell phone or download from your camera.
Overall experience with price, quality and features, excellent!!!

 It was fun in the beginning. Aug 11, 2009
By D. Panaligan
Barely six months into owning the product - the hard drive crashed!!! And it barely contains a little over 100gb! I have a 250gb with WD as well, for two years now, and it hasn't crashed! I don't recommend this new generation of WD Passports.
