Very Happy
The harddrive got here very fast, and was a breeze to set up. Works great so far, and I am very happy I made the purchase. The computer gurus at work recommended the WD brand and it seems to have a good reputation so I felt comfortable buying it. So far so good.

Pros:
- Compact
- portable
Cons:
- Very unreliable
- crashes / dies permanently when used for storing large files

Western Digital My Passport 2TB review
Portable hard drives typically distinguish themselves in one of two ways: Speed or capacity. With its brisk USB 3.0 interface and plentiful 2TB of storage space, the Western Digital My Passport (which retails for £170) approaches this proverbial fork in the road and takes both paths.
Pros:
- Huge capacity
- Speedy USB 3.0 transfer rates
- Attractive and compact chassis
- Some useful pre-installed software
Cons:
- Not as future-proofed as some rivals
- No alternative connections to USB

Fast and Reliable...
I was attempting to hold out until a portable drive with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt came out. Doubtful, at this point, that anyone would ever consider that possibility. But, circumstances changed and I required a large drive with a fast/common interface (USB 3.0).
Pros:
- 2TB of storage and USB 3.0
Cons:
- No thunderbolt compatibility..
