- Looking good, but some power issues...
I've already got an older 60GB My Passport which is excellent; has always worked fine even after dropping it five feet onto a wooden floor.

The new one (320GB My Passport Essential) looks much the same and I am confident that it will be just as good...once I get it powered up. I plugged it into my four-year-old home Dell laptop and it failed to start up; the older 60GB version works fine attached to that computer. When I plugged the 320GB My Passport into my newer work laptop it worked absolutely fine.

The solution is to phone Western Digital European Tech Support (00800 275 49338) who know all about this problem; it is because older computers may not deliver enough power via the USB port to power the My Passport. ... Read More:

- WD Passport 250
I've recently purchased one of these items to back up my computer files. This hard drive is reported to be compatible with Windows Vista, but as far as I am concerned, IT ISN'T. I am not a computer wizard, and my son who has far more computer knowledge than I have, is having great difficulty in making it work. To my mind, you should be able to connect it, download the software, and away you go. It doesn't work like this. I would suggest that anyone without a PhD in computers steers well clear of it. If I could give this a zero star rating, I would.

I feel that it is very important for users to realize what it is that they are buying and installing when purchasing a WD Passport Essential in plug and play out of the box mode.

The marketing on various sites including Amazon which is where I purchased my passport often refers to the inclusive automatic backup software.

Unfortunately this is misleading. If you use the default out of the box set up you will have a very clever and useful device which will permit you to ... Read More:

- Throwing money down the drain!
I bought this product back in August. It seemed ideal for me; lots of storage capacity and nice and small. 3 months later and it looks like one of the worst purchases I have made for my computer. For reasons unknown the entire contents, including the operating software have gone, and I can no longer use it. Luckily I have backed up most of my stuff. But to add insult to injury, I have tried to seek advice and assistance from the manufacturer via the customer service part of their webiste. They appear to be based in USA and I would have to pay to call, which I am loathe to do. So I have emailed 3 times over two weeks. They have deigned to reply once and only then to send me the link to the website (where did they think I got their email ... Read More:

- Small, cool, quiet and fast
The best of a variety of external HDD's I've used. I store VMware images on mine, and my virtual machines run great even though they're on a USB drive. With the compact size, and the fact that it is cool and quiet I highly recommend.
