Passport is just like a passport August 28, 2008
Donnag (Houston, TX USA)
This passport is actually the size of a real passport and just the right size to keep in a safety deposit box for offsite computer backups. It's unbelievably easy to use right out of the box. Already had another usb2 drive for backups and when it goes kaput I'll definately buy another Passport to replace it as it is cumbersome in size and extra cords, etc.
The Passport is a real winner!!!

Western Digital My passport August 28, 2008
Hon Meng Chan (Austin TX)
The product is good, very easy to use, just plug in and work on my two laptops. I don't have to eject it and it won't corrupt data while other drive will complain or lost data. The only thing I am not quite happy is the sync program is not easy to work with, but I don't use it often. The price is good for a 160G version, since this is what I need. I don't need a 1T version may be it is relatively cheaper. No power supply need is one of the most convenience things this product provide. The speed is fast, I would say for most of the photo copy work.

Excellent Drive for the money August 27, 2008
Andy Z (Atlanta, GA USA)
Small, easy to use and inexpensive -- what more could you ask for? Works great all the time. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the case scratches very easy.

Las verdad que este producto lleno mis expectativas, es bastante durable, ya que tipico que este tipo de dispositivos se golpean por accidente. Lo unico malo es que se raya con facilidad.
