Digital camera reviews of STORAGE, 250GB PASSPORT PORTABLE
Digital camera Review: Excellent Portable Storage
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned several Western Digital Passport drives and a few other mobile drive brands. This drive is great for backups, as you can hook it up fast without a power supply and store it anywhere. Put it in your briefcase, put it in your safe, take it with you anywhere and keep a copy of your data. It is almost pocket-size and the only thing you have to keep with you is a short USB cable. Some people consider the short cable that's included to be too short, but it's mobile!
Some owners have commented on needing a power adapter or extra usb cable for it, but I've never had that issue. I've used it on multiple desktops and multiple laptops with no issues at all, but you'll have to try it on your own system.
The surface of the Passports (shiny, black material) can be easy to scratch if you throw it around or keep it in your bag with other items. That would be my only complaint, but it doesn't really bother to me.
The speed is very responsive. I've used it on an XP and Vista machine and both have copied data to it fairly quick. I haven't performed tests on it, but it always gets the job done for me. The 250GB version is a great upgrade on the previous Passport models and the price has come down to some extent because they released the 320GB version.
WORD OF CAUTION: The price of the Passport drives (all models) changes frequently. Watch the prices for a few days and you'll be able to get a big drive (250-320gb) for a good price.
Digital camera Review: Excellent for Black Macbook Owners!
Summary: 5 Stars
My g/f bought me the 250GB WD Passport drive as a Christmas gift. I had always wanted a portable 2.5" drive but hesitated because I wasn't sure which model/brand to get.
We use Macs and PCs in our home, but I primarily use a black Macbook as my daily driver. This little guy works great and I store all my data, music, and pictures (most-importantly). You wouldn't think it but 250GB gives you a lot of breathing room when you're backing up lots of data.
If you're a Macbook owner, or more specifically a black Macbook owner, this little drive complements the look of your machine quite nicely.

I bought the WD passport 250G because my WD 160G was nearly getting full. I moved about 140G in about an hour and so far, it is performing excellently. No complaints what so ever from my part.Digital camera Review: Excellent product

Summary: 5 Stars
The Western Digital WDXMS2500TN Passport 250 GB USB Portable Hard Drive has proven to me to be an excellent source of portable storage. It is easy to use and carry. The best part is there is no need to plug in to a power source. You only need to plug in the USB and its on.
I am using it for backup and storage of all my photo and music files.
I give this a 5 star rating.
