5.0 out of 5 stars A pocket wonder, 24 Sep 2008
By Tom Douglas "Tom" (Oxford, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This hard disk drive is not much bigger than a mobile phone - 12.6cm x 7.9cm x 1.5cm - and holds a whopping 250Gb.

This makes is the perfect back-up drive that you can take with you. I carry mine in my laptop bag, so that should my laptop hard disk fail I have all my data with me and can still work. Assuming I can borrow a PC or laptop that is.

At home it can sit in a drawer and, if you want to pop round a friends house and share some tunes, it will sit in your pocket without causing an embarrassing bulge.

I have been using Western Digital for years and have never had any technical problems - I simply upgrade for capacity.

The one negative is the bundled sync software. It's a dog and is best avoided. Search for syncback on Google and you will find a great backup utility that is free for the basic version and very cheap for the full version.

The final point about My Passport Essential is the wonderful choice of colours. No more dull grey or matt black technology, these drives are busting with colour.

Great technology, very reliable, huge choice of colours and very keenly priced.

Five stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent little drive, 9 Sep 2008
By Mr. BB Shah (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Really nice looking, quiet drive. 250GB gives about 230GB in reality (this is supposed to happen!). Comes formatted in FAT32 with loads of manuals and some software already on it. I formatted it to NTFS straight away, and works great! Didn't touch the Western Digital software but I hear it isn't too bad.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended, 21 Oct 2008
By Chris Hanson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This hard drive is brilliant, its small and fits in my pocket. It stores everything I neeed to have on it easily and doesn't need to charge.

The only problems I found with this hard drive is that it scratches easily and the software that comes with it isn' worth using.
