Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital 320 GB Passport 2.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive
Customer Review: Reliable so far
Summary: 5 Stars
My only concern with a device this small is its reliability and that it continued to hold the data that you're backing up on it. I've been using the drive for over a week and have not had any issues with it. It mounts easily to the desktop and holds about 300GB of data from the advertised 350GB. Its lightweight and small which is a requirement as I use the drive for traveling.
The only issue that I would comment negetivly about this device is that the copy speeds are less than amazing for USB2.0. Nothing that would prevent me from recommending the drive, just don't expect to be in a hurry if you have 1000GB of files to copy over. Overall a great product from Western Digital.
Customer Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars
Compre este disco externo con el unico objetivo en mente de que sea portatil, facil de llevar y simple de conectar, y me lleve una grata sorpresa al utilizarlo. Supero mis expectativas porque es ultra liviano, y la velocidad de transferencia es excelente aun mayor que la de mi pendrive. El disenio del disco Passport ademas es bellisimo. La unica contra es que lo promocionan como de 320GB y en realidad solo almacena 298GB (Los 22 GB faltantes se pierden en la cuenta, dado que el fabricante divide por 1000 y no por 1024 como corresponde). Recomiendo comprarlo con estuche.Customer Review: Works great, fast and tons of space
Summary: 5 Stars
This USB Hard Drive was exactly what I was looking for. Good Price, Nice Size, Tons of Space and very fast (if you have USB 2.0)
Once you format your USB Hard drive, you will get 298GB availbale for you to work with.
By the way, just keep in mind that if you use large files (bigger than 2 GB) you should reformat the disk using NTFS because the disk comes formatted with FAT32.
Finally, this USB Hard Disk comes with its own software but to be honest, I didnt have a chance to install it or review it so I have no clue what it does.
Customer Review: Great Portabilty at a Good Price
Summary: 5 Stars
Bought this passport almost six months ago. It's a great tool to store and transfer files. I also bought the matching case to minimize damage and scratches. I don't think I'll ever reach the max 320 GB. I've backed up all of my files, pics, videos and music and I'm not even close to 320gb. I think what I like most is you DO NOT Nneed a separate power source, you simply attach the USB cable to any computer and plug-in play recognizes it and you're able to access your files through Explorer. It uses the computer's power to work. Great Portability and Convenience!!Customer Review: Western Digital Passport Drive Great for Mobile Mac Users
Summary: 5 Stars
This passport drive is ideal for MacBook Air users wanting to use Time Machine for back up. It is an excellent USB Bus Powered drive that has plenty of storage for the mobile Mac User. I have been nothing but pleased with this drive and have been recommending them to my clients and friends. I was hesitant to buy a USB only drive since most of my Macs preference for Firewire drives. However, this has been a solid drive and an excellent experience. I would heartily recommend you pick up at least one.
