Customer Reviews:

Awesome and easy-to-use.......2007-06-12

It worked right out of the box. Mine came with the short cord, and it worked fine for me even though reviews say that the short cord doesn't work for some reason. The only thing you have to know beforehand that the instructions don't really make clear is that the WD Sync software that's included is not what you need to store your files (that's used for synchronizing between computers or something) -- just make a new folder in the new drive, and drag-and-drop them into that folder.

Windows users beware.......2007-06-12

Windows users (possibly only XP/Vista) who are running higher-end computers, be warned: This hard drive pulls a lot of power from a USB port. Some computers running Windows will limit the amount of power available to a USB device. As a result, to run this drive, you will have to buy an extra cable from Western Digital (for about $18 with shipping) that will split the power load between 2 ports. In addition to the extra cost (WD will not foot the bill), you will have to have 2 USB ports available instead of one. WD claims that the product operates without this problem on about 90% of systems, but I had the problem on both a 3-year-old Dell desktop and a less-than-1-year-old Dell laptop (Inspiron E1505).

Check your warranty.......2007-06-01

Check your warranty! I purchased the 120 GB Passport with "3 Year warranty" printed on the package. I registered it and was informed that my remaining warranty was 334 days (one year from the date of manufacture). I immediately returned it.

Exceeded my expectations.......2007-05-31

I've had this nice little hard drive for about 6 months now and I have no complaints. I keep it hooked up to my office computer and use it to back up key files or to keep personal files on. At this price point I expected something of cheap construction, but this thing is solid. It works perfectly, is extremely fast, and looks great. The shiny black box looks and feels like a Nintendo DS. Really worth every penny.

I like these hard drives because they do not need a power hookup (get their power from the host computor). They are fast and easy to use.
