Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WDXMS2500TN Passport 250 GB USB Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Works perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I have two desktops, two laptops, four kids and thats just at home! I have some large databases that I maintain on several computers - all work flawlessly with this portable hard drive. I leave it in the trunk on a regular basis, toss it around, all kinds of abuse that should not happen. This is the fifth Western Digital portable hard drive I have bought. None have died, just been handed down, cuz I need more room.... :)
I think most of the major brands are pretty reliable, but the reviews, the warranty, and my personal experience lead me to recommend this model highly!
All the best,
Jay
Digital camera Review: Western Digital Passport 250 GB
Summary: 5 Stars
Very stable, I formatted it after checking out the included software. I just use some other free program to sync between the computer and the HD. Overall, a great buy if you're running out of space and need something portable.
Digital camera Review: Very Light!
Summary: 5 Stars
The weight of the drive is the first thing you notice. It's almost like the plastic casing doesn't have anything inside.
Works great, no problems so far.

Digital camera Review: Very good drive.
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I didn't purchase this drive from Amazon, I do own it. Mine came with a case (zippered leatherette type with exterior pocket for the USB cord). I use it on several Macs, including both at home and school: G5 dual processor towers, a G5 iMac and my MacBook Pro laptop. It works very well, and I love that it's just over pocket sized and yet is a 250 GB drive. I have had no problems with power. I keep it in its zippered case when not in use; it fits nicely in a pocket in the laptop case I use.
I would give it 5 stars, but because it is only a 5400 RPM drive, it is a little slow to mount. However, it dismounts immediately, which is great when I'm in a hurry.
Altogether a very good drive; I've had mine for about 6 months and would recommend it to anyone who doesn't want a big bulky "portable" drive but needs much more storage than a basic USB thumbdrive.
