Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WDXMS2500TN Passport 250 GB USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: A lot of Space for the money!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this drive so I could store files on it and not clog up my desktop hard drive. Lots of room on this bad boy and the price was less than 50 cents per gigabyte.Digital camera Review: perfect size - easy to carry
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is a great little investment. i'm not tech savvy and was just looking for a hard drive so i could move data around between my four computers. The price was great for 250 gigs - and it was way more than enough for what i needed it for. so far i've hardly even filled 10% of it. I also love how small and portable this thing is. It fits in my purse and is nice and light.Digital camera Review: Excellent Backup Solution
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this drive primarily to backup my MacBook Pro using Time Machine. As with all hard drives, keep in mind that it's sold as a 250GB drive, but the actual drive capacity is 232GB.
I wiped the drive clean and partitioned it -- 200GB for Time Machine use on my Mac and 32GB for storage use on a PC and Mac.
Power isn't an issue on my MBP, the WD Passport operates whether my Mac is plugged in to a power source or running on the battery. Only wish the USB cord was longer.
It comes with WD Passport Software (Windows only) installed on the drive, but I'd highly recommend not installing it or using it especially since it's the drive is PnP and the software (as reported elsewhere) makes the loading time slower.
Digital camera Review: great backup & easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great backup device- simple plug and play, fast transfer and it is really small and lightweight. Does not require external power which is a bonusDigital camera Review: Just a poor product and unreliable. Get Lacie or Seagate
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a professional 3D graphics artist and made the mistake of buying this product. This is the second Western Digital portable harddrive I've owned and I regret both purchases. I thought the first harddrive was a fluke, but this one just reconfirmed that Western Digital the company makes unreliable products.
There are constant time-out and hardware recognition problems. Often times, the harddrive will randomly disppear and go off line, probably to sort out it's own personal/emotional issues. The harddrive is very bipolar. Sometimes it will transfer data information quickly, and other times it fits in the special needs category.
My information is valuable, and don't trust this harddrive with my recycle bin. If you want a reliable harddrive, buy a Lacie or Seagate...or if you have an ipod, just use that. My ipod was the most reliable harddrive I've ever had.
