Digital camera Review: Fantastic upgrade for any Intel-based Mac notebook
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this drive to install in my MacBook Pro. I used a program called "SuperDuper" to image my internal drive to the WD Passport, which made a bootable copy of everything on my computer. I then took out the WD drive from the plastic case and installed it in my laptop. After replacing the old drive into the WD USB case, I had a great backup drive (for TimeMachine or whatever) for my system. I highly recommend this drive. Low cost, quiet operation, and < so far > no issues at all. Buy it now!Digital camera Review: GREAT CHOICE FOR BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!

Hi, i'm from Guatemala and the main reason I bought this product was because it doesn't need a/c power. Just plug it to your computer and you have a secondary hard drive!!! I work in the advertising industry here in my country, and the amount of data that we have to save is very considerable, so my new WD hard drive works pretty well, is portable and spacious. GreetingsDigital camera Review: Good HD

I was in the hunt for a larger capacity Portable hard drive for while now and bought Western digital passport - 250GB, online via Amazon.
Pros: - Very sleek, fits in a shirt/pant pockets. A little over prized considering the features that comes with it. Easy setup, no hassle.
As usual, delivery/shipping were good as promised. Again no hassle.
I had no problem in reformatting to NTFS and get it into working condition. Its doing its job well so far.
Cons - 1) Software that comes with it is lousy. Nothing much can be done (or probably I couldn't do much). I was expecting a backup software which could do an incremental, on-demand, selectable file backup and sync. But the software is very basic and pretty ordinary.
2) Could have been competitively prized considering the stupid software that comes with it and lack of dual direct power option.
3) Poor user manual.
4) Could have been a provision for a direct power supply (now it is via a USB connect to a PC). My 3 year old portable hard drive from Transcend came with an alternate direct power and a power cord included!!
5) The USB cable slot is somewhat awkwardly placed probably compromised to maintain the sleek design. The slot cover somewhat blocks the space. But it could save from dust.
6) I'm not sure of the casing. It doesn't look to me of sturdy stuff. It could have been better if its of a metal casing but I'm not sure. My old transcend portable was made of aluminum. So I'm confused on this.
So many Cons but still 4 star??All the Cons I have listed are purely my expectations and wish list and hence are not critical. All said and done, what is required is a sleek portable hard drive at reasonable prize. Wish WD comes with a 500GB passport hard drive.
