Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 160GB 2.5-inch Passport USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Best Item
Summary: 5 Stars
These hard drive is more powerfull than the others, the software is unique for the provider. The software have encrypt the information.Digital camera Review: Beware!!! Doesn't work with Mac Powerbooks 15" or 17"
Summary: 1 Stars
Although many fellow reviewers praise this item, mac users should be wary. This will not work on a Mac Powerbook G4, 15" or 17". It draws it's power from the USB port and apparently the powerbook doesn't have enough power. Western Digital is aware of this but their packaging says that it supports Mac OS X 10.1.5+ this isn't true. It only works on some mac's. After many complaints the company is SELLING a USB booster for $9.99 with a $7.00 shipping fee!!
If you want this drive and you have a Mac, be sure to figure in the added cost before making a decision to buy it. Very Disappointing.

Digital camera Review: Bummer....but I'm not surprised
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this drive for Christmas, and then proceeded to read the reviews about what utter junk this thing was. But I figured I'd give it a shot anyway. It worked well for the few times I've used it over the course of the last month or so, but it just decided to stop working. I had files on there, but now Windows is just telling me I need to format it, which is funny.....because I already did. I'd be more upset if I hadn't been expecting this based on the barrage of negative reviews I've already read. Refund time!Digital camera Review: Caution: Fragile!

I needed a portable drive to transfer files from home to work and back. I was looking for something that would fit easily in my backpack and found this drive on sale for a good price. It worked great right out of the box. Quick file transfer between my Mac's at home and PC's at work. I had been using it two months without a problem and was bringing some important files home when it slipped out of my bag. I missed the catch and it dropped about 2 feet onto the street. I caught it after one bounce but it was too late. Both home and work computers will no longer ID the drive. It's dead. I admit it was a good deal and worked fine for a bit but I give it one star for lack of durability.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.
