Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Western Digital My Passport Essential 320 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive (Midnight Black)

Customer Review: Easy to Use great item!
Summary: 5 Stars

Recently I bought this 320gb western digital external hardrive product from target for [...] bucks. It was easy to plug in and just as easy to put my music and documents in it. I really don't understand the complaint about the Smartware because nothing every pops up on my screen. I am a BEGINNER!!! and I have never used an external hardrive. I really don't have a complaint it is easy to move around and I decided to buy this machine for the memory, usb powered, and mobility. It's really small! The memory isn't huge and like most machines (in comparison to my ipod) I lost about 20gb of memory, but it is expected for most things that contain this large memory. There is always more memory to buy from different locations. I recommend buying the smaller amount of drive so that you know absolutely if you want to buy a larger one or not instead of spending 100 bucks on an item that you MIGHT like. Enjoy it.
