Digital camera reviews of Western Digital 320 GB Passport 2.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: great when it works
Summary: 4 Stars
I love these external drives, they are extremely useful for transferring files and backup. However, I also have an 80 GB drive that just failed, so I don't think they're terribly dependable. Still, for temporary storage or for frequent backups, it can't be beat because of the size, speed, and convenience.
Just for the record, I think that my other drive that "failed" will eventually be ok. However it's going to take a bunch of time on a support line with WD or Ontrack, which is Western Digital's "preferred" vendor for data recovery (they have a dedicated page for western digital customers). I've used Ontrack's products before, and they really are the masters of data recovery.
Digital camera Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
Compre este disco externo con el unico objetivo en mente de que sea portatil, facil de llevar y simple de conectar, y me lleve una grata sorpresa al utilizarlo. Supero mis expectativas porque es ultra liviano, y la velocidad de transferencia es excelente aun mayor que la de mi pendrive. El disenio del disco Passport ademas es bellisimo. La unica contra es que lo promocionan como de 320GB y en realidad solo almacena 298GB (Los 22 GB faltantes se pierden en la cuenta, dado que el fabricante divide por 1000 y no por 1024 como corresponde). Recomiendo comprarlo con estuche. Digital camera Review: These devices are more than just for storage...

I am not going into details on this specific drive as many people have already. I want to add a whole new dimension to these USB powered drives that many of you may not be aware.
Because of their great portability feature, you can install an operating system and programs called Portable Apps, www.portableapps.com. The programs are free and provide you with a wide array of on-the-go programs, much similar to those from Microsoft and others in your typical pc. By installing these programs, you can actually be able to use your portable drive in anyone's computer, use the programs to do your work, and leave-- and the beauty is that you don't need to have to install anything in other's computer. By the time you are done, there is no trace of you doing the work on that person's computer.
This is the future of how a person can go back and forth from the office without the need to carry his/her laptop. Such drive allows a far more flexible means to carry large amount of data with programs built-in to allow a person like me to move those works around easily.
Digital camera Review: Western Digital Portable hard drive
Summary: 4 Stars
Western Digital Portable hard drive work perfectly well.
I always used the Lacie Brand but this changed, I am more than impressed with and very happy.
Digital camera Review: amazing and works inside your Mac
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this drive under the assumption that I could take out the hard drive and put it in my MBP. IT worked perfectly. My Macbook Pro now has a 320GB internal drive in it, and I put my old 80 gig drive into the now empty Western Digital case and it works great as a portable drive in shuttling data to and fro.
Buy this if you have a Mac
