Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of WD Passport Portable Hard Drive 250 GB/Go

Customer Review: Smart choice
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this HD with possible Army use in mind. I wanted something compact, durable and large enough to fit map files which run in tens of gigs.

WD Passport is a good choice and I'll describe the reasons below.

This model has one cable to power/connect to internet. The cable is a standard mini-usb, a very common type. this can not be overstated because this feature alone gives it flexibility, portability, and makes it very user friendly. I own another, older external HD by western digital which as a power cable, and a separate computer cable and its a whole different story.

I bought mine for 90 to 100 dollars in may 2008, which is an excellent deal.

Secondary features are size - its small and fits in side a backpack easy. Has bright LED light that ensures I know when its on. Does not require drivers to plug into PCs. (do not recall if I needed anything for mac though). On the back I used the space to write my name in a permanent marker, in case I violated security and lost it somewhere.

It looks attractive, white with blue LED is a great combination. I think mac users and other white laptop users will be pleasantly surprised when they put it next to their machine.

Features I'd like to see:
+password protection. I'd like to have a lock on my HD where a pin is needed to enter it.
+gps tracker capability. i'd like high end models to be trackable in case they are lost.
+rubber case to cushon falls.
