This drive is small, light and great to travel with... but it died on me and now I'm in the process of seeing if I can retrieve any of my files :(

Based on the reviews I read, I recommended this hard drive (and the 250GB version) to friends of mine. It has been weeks and I am still trying to "fix" both hard drives. They both freeze during backups and Windows, in turn, freezes, too. I read their "documents," which are nine pages of PDF nothingness. I went on WD's support page to find answers and nothing concrete. I tried reformatting and they still freeze. One of the computers I am trying to back up has used 67GB of its (internal) hard drive space. Meanwhile, the external hard drive shows 49GB was backed up. This discrepancy could be due to the non-backup of the operating system itself, but still, an 18GB difference? It should be simple to see what files EXACTLY were backed up via WD's synchronization software. Instead, it shows "My Computer" and that's it; clicking on it does nothing. I am a Mac person and Windows people would say, "Well, you're used to having everything done for you because that's what Mac does." Who the hell wants to work at simply backing up an entire hard drive and seeing what the hell you backed up?! Never buying a WD external hard drive again. It's a terrible experience because I recommended these products to people.UPDATE: The problem was because the hard drive itself does not come with actual backup software. The packaging, especially the wording, is misleading in that regard. I purchased Rebit backup software and that solved the issue.

This is a very nice looking, compact drive with a large storage capacity. I now look at it as a mega USB drive.However, my original reason for wanting one was as a single-PC backup storage for critical files and it just doesn't have the stability for that.The device features a single mini-USB to USB connection (cable included) to provide data transfer and power to the drive. This unfortunately means that the drive can come into scenarios where there isn't enough power coming to it that it can be detected by your PC. This is especially the case if you try to plug it into a USB hub.Plugging mine directly into the PC fixed the problem for me but required me to put my device in an inconvenient location.I like the form factor on this guy and I think the synchronization software would be handy for other people, but I should have purchased a Western Digital My Book Essential Edition 1 TB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive WDH1U10000N instead since it provides power and data connections.

I used to buy stand-alone laptop drives and external hard cases. I would then assemble my own portable external drives.The problem with this is that most of the external drives are not really "fit" for the drives. I'm a clumsy person and sometimes I would fumble on my portables. This caused the drives to bend some of the pins inside the external cases. Thus, I started looking for pre-built external drives.I started looking at 3 brands that I've used: Seagate, Maxtor, and Western Digital. My latest laptop drive was a 120GB Western Digital but I wanted to look for other drives.I checked out HDD reviews and numerous people have commented against Maxtor. I had 3 Maxtor drives and those 3 broke down after 2-3 years. I don't know if that's normal for home use.Then I noticed Seagate was quite expensive. This boils down to Western Digital.As I was looking for Western Digital drives, the salesperson offered me Passport Essential. I looked at it and was surprised at the size. It wasn't as small as my assembled portables but it was small enough and nicely manufactured. In short, it looked slick!With the drive is a software from Wester Digital that allowed syncing of files and encrypting them. It's an impressive software. However, since the files are encrypted, you can't normally browse the files you've synced. For data recover this poses some problem in case I fumble on my drive again. I found another sync software that allowed me to browse the files like a normal explorer. But that's another story. For this product, the packaged software allows you to back up your files and secure it. It's enough for most people.Overall, I'm impressed with Western Digital's My Passport Essential. It does the job of backing up my files and the drive is snugly inside its own external case.

This is an easy to use harddrive that always works (whereas Firelite drives i've had seem to have problems either writing or powering up using a laptop USB port). The only thing i'll add to the many reviews is that this harddrive came with a USB power cable which did not work on my Dell D600 laptop (fairly middle of the line laptop). i called customer service and asked about how to work around this, and they said they have a cable that they'd send out. A week or so later, i got the box, free shipping, no hassles, and it was a USB power cable that used 2 USB ports to power the harddrive but now works perfectly. On my other Dell laptop, i don't need the double-plug solution, but i just wanted to point out the great service and that Firelite drives require a separate AC adapter (that costs money) if your USB port doesn't supply enough power.

Bought this product a little over a year ago, worked fine for a while. After being stored in a desk for a while with no use, it ceased to work...it just makes a clicking sound and isn't recognized by either a MacBook or a Dell Dimension desktop. Bought the cable recommended by the WD website that is supposed to boost power, and it still doesn't work. Luckily I'm not attached to any of the files on there. Product isn't covered by warranty after a certain period. So it goes.

I am not computer genius. But for the regular person who just needs to cleara little space for all those photos and other files to give the computer some much needed speed, this may be the solution. I have loaded all my photos on it and the only thing I have noted is that it is a bit slow. Nothing major to curse about its not like I am dealing with delicate information or stealing info and need the speed. I am just regular old Jane who wants more space and it meets my needs.

I originally tried to use the little flash drives to backup my data but I have so much that using a small 8gig backup was not enough and in the past I used external hard drives but they were of the clunky type. I had no idea that the newer generation of external hard drives were so conveniently small and can back up massive amounts of data. The western digital passport drive I have has only the 160 gig capacity (about 140 gig when you take into consideration space taken up by its own backup/data transfer application installed), but this is more than enough for me to back up everything I need to and still have a lot of room to spare. YOur not limited to using their software installed on the hard drive. you can use any third party backup program (such as roxio easy media creator) or even windows own back up program. which ever you use this hard drive is very compatible..I highly recommend this product...

Everything works great. Files transfer to the hard drive very fast. The hard drive, one plugged in, was instantly recognized. Only one downfall. If your pc cannot provide enough power, it wont mount. I plugged it into my laptop and it worked perfectly. I plugged it into my desktop and it didn't even detect it. The problem was: The desktop had a old psu with only 300 mah with alot of addons - (GPU etc)

This item was delivered promptly, and the product had not problems. The only thing is that my USB port on my laptop will not accept the device because it says it exceeds the power allowance. Also, I realized that all I wanted was lots of storage space, but this external harddrive came with programs on it that I'm sure are useful, but not what I was looking for.

I have had Passport Essential drives for a long time now, and they are very reliable and durable. Performance is very good. I have even stored virtual machines on these drives and they work flawlessly.

I bought this drive because my laptop has a 60gb hard drive and I needed some extra space so I was hoping to find something in the $50 range but then I saw this and knowing western digital as a name brand I bought it. It came in just a few days and when I looked in the case I saw a solid black hard drive then I opened the case to find a shiny black thing with the equivalent shininess of a mirror! You almost feel like you shouldn't touch it or that they should include a cleaning cloth. It also contains a 6 inch USB cable. When you plug it in for the first time on a Windows XP a window will popup and ask you what you want to do with the drive. I recommend that you run the software provided. It opens up WD Sync which is quite helpful as it is part backup part storage. I selected my files and clicked sync then suddenly I get the message Power Surge on USB port. So I tried it again in a different port and I worked fine. I recommend this drive to anyone who needs backup and storage on the same drive.

This is an unreliable piece of hardware.I purchased a 160 GB USB 2.0 external drive... after 4 months, it all of a sudden, unexpectedly stopped working, stopped mounting... I had 96 GB of work in there, now a company is charging me 2,600 $US IF THEY CAN recover the data... the hardware itself malfunctioned.I have been working with computers for over 20 years now... have personally had 14 different macs of all types through the years... and in my company have 30 users... 4 of them have these disks 2 now have similar issues... no EHD is 100% reliable... but these are ridiculous... in any storage capacity.Western Digital should pay me for recovering my data.

Went through 2 of these. The first one was broken and just made a clicking sound and would not show up on the computer. I sent that back and received another new one that worked for about month and a half, that did the same thing. The hard drive which is supposed to hold your important information lost all of my work,pictures,music...EVERYTHING. PLEASE READ CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB. Western digital will not stand behind their products and dont care about your important information. 2 hard drives and both broken...PLEASE DO NOT BUY WESTERN DIGITAL PORTABLE HARD DRIVES!!!! THEY DO NOT WORK.

This product is ok the biggest disappointment for me is the fact you can only download 4gb at a time. I bought it to back computer would have been much easier if could have backup the whole computer a one time instead of piece mealing it in.

This was definitely a good buy. Setting it up was as easy as plug and go. Finally, I don't have to worry about losing all my files if something happens to my laptop. It's safely backed up on this portable hard drive, which is convenient to carry around, can fit into my pocket.

Works good. It was confusing setting it up and figuring out how it works. It comes with this software to back up your whole computer, so you can basically bring your main computer's hard drive with you wherever you go. However it works much the same as iTunes works, where you sync everything, so if you delete something from your computer then press sync, it will be deleted off the drive. However if you are like me and just want to clear some space on your computer by moving files off of it, all you need to do is treat it like a flash drive and drag files into it's icon on My Computer. Hope this helps. Overall it's a good product, I recommend it. And it's a great price!

I could not figure out how to get this device to work. It kept freezing up with partial page views visible. When the device was frozen, my computer ran very slow. I left it running over night and in the morning it was still frozen. I also had difficulty getting the device to stop. The "Safely Remove Hardware" icon also seemed to be frozen. Very frustrating.

This external hard drive is great. I just had knee replacement surgery and while I was off I put my entire music library of about 150 cd's on it in mp3 format. Now all I have to do to get some new(old)music is plug it into my laptop along with my mp3 player and load it up.

This product does exactly what it is suppose to do with ease.The only thing I would have wanted more from this, was it to come with a more universal password protection program. If you need the extra storage then this is a bargain.

I must say that this HDD works well. My only problem would be that when it falls the casing shifts a bit. I have a fear that one more fall and this thing will break. Otherwise, easy to setup and lightning fast transfer and recovery.

I already had one of these external drives and was looking for another as a gift. It came in perfect condition and in the time frame that it was supposed to and I was glad to do business with the company.
