Digital camera reviews of Passport Essential 2.5" 320GB USB Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: A very portable hard disk
Summary: 5 Stars
This was my fifth Western digital passport hard disk I have bought from AMAZON. All of them are still working. I connect them to my Dell Inspiron 9400(that has 6 USB ports). When I bought the first one I was very doubtful if they could work connected to a laptop but, they work even when I have connected up to 4 to this laptop. They also work in all other laptops that I have connected to (even in the tiny SONY VAIO UX380FN. This 320 GB works also equally well.
I should also mention that I had previously bought 3 Western Digital "MY BOOK" USB hard-disks. They are still working fine since the first day, but I hate their cumbersome power supply that makes them not very portable.
I had previously bought another brand USB hard-disk, also from AMAZON. It never worked very well. Finally it refused to be recognized by the system so, I finally opened the box and mounted the disk as internal in a desktop to recover the hidden data inside: the hard-disk was OK, so success for my data.
USB hard-disks, specially the passport cannot be dismounted by windows like the USB pen drives. I consulted to Western Digital. They informed me that this was a problem with all USB hard-disks, because windows recognized them as disks, not as flash drives or memory cards. I found a trick to allow dismount them without a shut down. I bought and installed `cryptic disk'. This program requires you to mount and dismount the hard disk, apart from protect your data to be peeked by other eyes in case your disks go to other hands.
Digital camera Review: Affordable backup
Summary: 4 Stars
The portable hard drive provides an affordable and reliable way to backup your important documents, pictures, videos, music, and other files. I love the fact that it doesn't need an external power source, and it's so tiny. Since the software is preloaded I had no trouble just putting files onto this hard drive immediately. This is also an excellent and efficient way to transfer files between work, home, and other computers with ease.
After losing a hard drive containing years worth of pictures and business files, I will not be caught without one of these in the future.
Digital camera Review: As Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
The Western Digital 320GB external Passport drive is exactly as advertised. The drive installed easily, quickly and has operated flawlessly since.

This is a wonderful portable hard drive. It's fast, the pictures load on fast from off your computer, you don't need a power cord, it's small so it's easy to port around. I love it. So glad I got itDigital camera Review: Awesome Product!
