Western Digital WDME1600TN My Passport Essential 160GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Midnight Black)IT DOESN'T WORK. I CANNOT GET IT TO INSTALL, I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT WESTERN DIGITAL AND THEY DON'T EVEN RESPOND TO MY EMAILS. THERE ISN'T ANY INSTALLATION DISK, NO INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND THE PLUG AND PLAY WON'T PICK IT UP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM AMAZON AGAIN.IT WAS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEYL. LINDA STAMPER

It scratches easily but we got a nice case for it ... Read More
