5 out of 5 stars The Passport to the World   September 5, 2008
This product is excellent. It's very simple to operate. Your IQ doesn't have to be high. It's not bulky for 320 gb hard drive. I also like the Google program.


3 out of 5 stars Works great   September 5, 2008
Purchased the WD My Passport and use it for important files to protect them from laptop errors.


4 out of 5 stars Really Small, but really Slow   September 4, 2008
Well, this is a really good device, it is fast if you want to play from it, but the transfers is really slow, and if you do it with the software it is worst.


4 out of 5 stars satisfied   September 4, 2008
Fair price for the amount of storage,

A bit confusing to synchronize your info, but gets the job done.

Compact size and lightweight item

Could use a carrying case, or storage bag though.



5 out of 5 stars Hard Drive   September 3, 2008
Great product. This is my first external hard-drive. I put off buying one for many years, but it has reached a point that I have too much information that I do not want to lose. A friend told me that his computer froze up and he lost all his pictures, music, ect. I decided it was time to stop putting it off and started researching external hard-drives. The Western Digital received good reviews so I ordered it. Very easy to use and now all my info. is backed up.
