Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 160GB 2.5-inch Passport USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: I like it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am no computer geek but this was so easy to use! It is small and looks good!!!! Digital camera Review: Cheap, effective and portable
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first external hard drive that i ordered but it has preformed flawlessly. I mostly use it for carrying music to work and moving my office files from one computer to another as needed. Its only a tiny bit larger than my wallet so i can shove it in my pocket and carry it around without feeling it.
The product works prefectly with my office computer. It operates the same way that a flash drive does, just plug it in and go. The only thing i would recommand is getting a longer USB cable because the included one is about two feet long.
Transporting files is quick with it. About a minute per gigabyte so it can be filed up nicely over the course of a lunch break.
Digital camera Review: Great Product

Very easy to use product right out of the box. I like the convenience of no power cord. It shipped on time so I am satisfied.Digital camera Review: Got Two, Both Failed
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased two of these Western Digital 160GB 2.5" Passport drives on February of 2008. One gave me trouble right out of the box with with the software not wanting to communicate well with my computer, so I reformatted that one and it worked just fine. I left the original software on the second drive, though I found it of little use.
My computer had a very small hard drive and was unable to hold my software and all of my files. I purchased two of these so that if anything happened to one, I would have a backup of all of my important files.
As of mid-April, both hard drives just simply died at the same time and I have now lost years of important files with absolutely no warning. Now, it is too late to return the drives for a refund and I also have to pay out additional funds to make the attempt to recover the files.
I have tried both drives on multiple computers. One now reads as corrupt and the other simply will not read at all. I am extremely upset and I do not recommend this product at all.
Digital camera Review: Perfect

Very easy to use even for the non computer savy. Very small and portable. Exactly what I needed.
