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 Small but capacious , 7 Sep 2008
By Cheatin' Jockey (Worcestershire) - See all my reviews
Got this to backup my wife's laptop - it does what it says on the tin. The sync software works well (as long as you understand it also deletes during the sync process!) and the disk itself is small with a short USB cable. It's not blisteringly fast (backed up 64GB in about an hour or so) but it doesn't need its own power so it can be forgiven for that.

The red is cool but the edges are white bordering on pink so be aware if you're colour concious!

4.0 out of 5 stars More than happy, 11 Dec 2008
A very economical piece of kit, didnt like the sync software though, didnt really have the patience to understand it, so i deleted it (Quick Format)looks smart in red with the contrasting edge just like a little book, it has a bright light next to the usb input so that you can easily see when its working at something.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent value for money
The Western Digital Passport is a small passport sized portable hard drive. As you can guess it is a laptop hard drive within a red casing and to me is very appealing to the eye... Read more

A neat and functional solution to backing up files. For a Mac you just plug it into a USB port and it pops up in the device part of the finder window. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply does what it says on the tin
Following other reviewers' advise to leave the bundled software well alone, I can only say that it works just like a USB stick, just one with a cavernous appetite. Read more
