Great portable storage. USB power is nice though it needs a powerful USB and sometimes the Y USB cable for dual USB power. I've dropped mine on wood before and hasn't broken. Easy to replace internal drive if it fails.

Western Digital Passport Essential Portable 250GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive
I am quite pleased with this product. It is quick, quiet, compact, works well across Vista and XP, and is quite portable. I would like it if the USB cable was a little longer, but the cable is not too big to prevent another USB from being plugged into the next USB port on a machine.

Compact but usb slow for size
The size serves my purpose very well: monthly backup and bank SD box storage. Firewire 800 would be desirable if used on a regular basis. The usb is very slow for large disk, as this is, backup. Also, on a long run it gets hot. I put an ice pack on top to keep it cooler.
Pros:
- Easy To Install
- Highly Compatible
- Quiet
Cons:
- Runs Hot
- Slow

New USB connector HORRIBLE
The new smaller USB connector (smaller than the standard mini USB on the 360GB) on the Passport is horrible. A slight touch and it loses connection, causing the dreaded "device removed unexpectedly" warning. This happened 3 times today in my first us...

Western Digital's My Passport Essential SE is currently the only portable external hard drive to boast a whopping 1TB of storage space. Despite this, it is one of the smallest hard drives around and is quite speedy, too.

Western Digital My Passport Essential 320GB External Drive
Transfer rates stayed the same with the installation of the SmartWare software, though the user experience decreased. If you don't install it, every time you connect the drive the software will mount and ask to be installed. This was extremely annoying.

WD My Passport Studio 640GB review
Passport is the rather apt name chosen by Western Digital for its range of portable hard drives. Not much bigger than the 2.5in notebook drives they contain, these pocket-sized storage devices are now more pocketable than ever, thanks to their extra-rounded corners – not to mention attractive...
Pros:
- Large capacity
- Personalised e-label display
- Three connection options: FireWire 400/800 and USB 2.0
- Straightforward software for labelling
- locking and backup
- 256-bit hardware encryption
Cons:
- Only one FireWire port – no daisy-chaining
- No carry case in the box

Not for viewing picture files.
This Western Digital One terabyte USB hard drive is extremely durable yet unbelievably quiet, and its read/write speed is excellent. It is compact, about the size of a wallet, is handsomely designed, and so affordable that I bought two of them.
