Digital camera reviews of Western Digital WDXMS800TN Passport 80 GB USB 2.0 2.5-Inch Portable Hard Drive
Digital camera Review: Excellent Portable Storage
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned several Western Digital Passport drives and a few other mobile drive brands. This drive is great for backups, as you can hook it up fast without a power supply and store it anywhere. Put it in your briefcase, put it in your safe, take it with you anywhere and keep a copy of your data. It is almost pocket-size and the only thing you have to keep with you is a short USB cable. Some people consider the short cable that's included to be too short, but it's mobile!
Some owners have commented on needing a power adapter or extra usb cable for it, but I've never had that issue. I've used it on multiple desktops and multiple laptops with no issues at all, but you'll have to try it on your own system.
The surface of the Passports (shiny, black material) can be easy to scratch if you throw it around or keep it in your bag with other items. That would be my only complaint, but it doesn't really bother to me.
The speed is very responsive. I've used it on an XP and Vista machine and both have copied data to it fairly quick. I haven't performed tests on it, but it always gets the job done for me. If you can get a bigger version (120, 250, 320gb) for a little more money, then go for it!
WORD OF CAUTION: The price of the Passport drives (all models) changes frequently. Watch the prices for a few days and you'll be able to get a big drive (250-320gb) for a good price.
