Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 160GB 2.5-inch Passport USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Caution: Fragile!
Summary: 1 Stars
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: Not a good experience
Summary: 1 Stars
I first purchased this product in 2007. The original device was bad and would not accept any sort of file upload or transfer. I contacted customer service (a bad experience in itself) and they agreed to exchange my faulty product for a new one, and to reimburse me for the return shipping costs incurred upon me (which I have yet to see after 7 months).
A new hardrive was sent upon my return of the original. It worked fine for several months, but like the first is a faulty product. I can no longer retrieve and play the music/movie files I have stored on it. I understand that some have great experiences with this product, but I will not buy from WD again. I recently switched to a Toshiba 160 GB hard-drive and remain very satisfied with it.

Summary: 5 Stars
I use this every day to transfer files from a mac to a PC and it works flawlessly. I would suggest it to anyone. I love it! Digital camera Review: Mac Problem Corrected
Summary: 4 Stars
I own an Apple Powerbook and was surprised when the drive would not work with it. I contacted Western Digital and they worked with me to identify the problem and send me a special cord that plugged into two USB ports instead of one. Evidently, the problem was that the drive wasn't getting enough power. It now works fine.
