Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good value for the money
Two small complaints, I had to reformat the drive so I could store some of my video files that are over 4gig, and the data transfer is a little on the slow side. Both are minor, so I would say buy the drive unless you really need a high speed device.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Very portable, somewhat reliable, with a few drawbacks
I have had my Passport for a little over a year. It is not the same size drive, but as most of the products should function similarly, I felt like this should be very relevant.

Pros:
1) Very portable - this drive fits easily in any book bag, computer case, or on top of or alongside a computer. Since the drive runs on USB power, there is no need for an external power source.
2) Fairly rugged - My drive has been dropped, gone through various temperatures, and has spent a great deal of time riding in my backpack to and from work, and it still functions.
3) Plug-and-play for multiple OSs - This drive has worked with every OS I tried it with, including multiple Linux distros. Big plus for Western Digital there!

Cons:
1) USB-powered - I have two ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Small and very convenient
I needed a way to share files between multiple computers,, both Windows and Linux. This works beautifully. It provides generous file storage. It is small enough to fit easily in a laptop carrying bag, and it fits easily on the desktop.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Only a few things to make it better ...
... like putting a connection light/status light on the opposite end of the drive, instead of the end where the cord goes in. Why? Because the USB cord is so short that you can't necessarily see a status light unless you turn the drive to face you. The only other thing I struggle with is that it doesn't seem to connect through a USB expansion port (despite both being USB 2.0).

Other than that, it's pretty cool, sleek, and the pre-loaded software has worked as indicated. Thumbs up all around.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My 3rd WD Passport and still going strong!
This is my 3rd of these Western Digital Passport drives, they are great! Have not had any problems with the older version of the passport. They run quiet and are very reliable. I used to carry the old clunky 3.5" external drives with the heavy power supply, now I can carry all my data without breaking my back.

Just in my experience, WD drives are very dependable, I tend to stay away from Maxtor who has failed me 3x.
