Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 160GB 2.5-inch Passport USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: A portable device IDEAL for NON PORTABLE computers
Summary: 2 Stars
Looks sleek, runs fast on my dual opteron with Suse 10.1.
Reformatted to ext3 very well.
Unfortunately, it will not work on my Dell Precision M50, not enough power on the USB port I guess. I wish it had an optional connector for a power supply. Now I will have to hack the cable. Waste of time :(
Digital camera Review: AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
I put all the content of my old PC on it, and now I use it with my new laptop. It was the best I could have done now that I am relocating. It has not given me any trouble so far, and everyone around me loves it and is thinking about getting one too.
I think the customers who gave bad reviews may have gotten a deffected model.
Anyhoo. This is a great buy!
Digital camera Review: Absolutely Bad drive
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this drive three days ago. After I have a error message
Cannot copy file: {filename}. The requested sector could not be found
Support offer replacement, but this is general problem!
I found this on internet
Hi i ordered item: 327388 about a month ago and it arrived last night (was aware of the delay so no problem there). But as i was using the drive last night i peridocially got an error message "Cannot copy file: {filename}. The requested sector could not be found." This was very annoying so i formatted the drive using the western digital formatter download from the support section their site for this drive. "WD FAT32 Formatter" (ExtFat32.msi), Now the problem is words and the folowing actions fail:
Writing to the disk
Formating the disk again using "WD FAT32 Formatter"
formatting the disk using windows (ntfs mode)
I've tried all actions on multiple systems (2 desktops [xp,2000] and 1 laptop[xp])
I'm am thinking my next action would be to return the item but i am not sure if i want a refund or a replacement, have other people had issues with the drive to date? I know ists a new item so may not be much feedback yet.
Digital camera Review: Almost perfect!
Summary: 4 Stars
Started using it on a friend's new Imac but bought for my 17" powerbook and once I tried to use it, it wouldn't mount on the desktop unless my powerbook was plugged to an external monitor and using the monitor's back usb, so there's some power issue related or to my usb or the drive. The product is stylish and the transaction was not a problem at all but for my main use it lacks some performance.Digital camera Review: An excellent purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
The product was bought from Best Buy in excellent condition. The only problem I had with it was that my computer did not recognize it at first, but after a few tries it picked up excellently. I never had any data failures or malfunctions. For 160 GB, an excellent buy that I would make again if the thing wasn't so small; though convenient it left my unit privy to thieves.
