 Electronics : Western Digital Passport Essential Portable 250GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (WDME2500TN) |

Rating:  - Does what a hard drive should
Picked this up for use as a backup disc for a MacBook using Apple's Time Machine. Runs flawlessly off bus power directly from the laptop. Running without a hitch for nearly 3 months at this point and warrantied for 3 years. Sleek, small, convenient. Have several WD externals and no complaints yet. Well worth it.
Rating:  - D.O.A.
This drive was DOA. I tried using on Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Home Premium systems and it didn't work on either. I must have got the dud drive and I returned it.
Rating: - Great little hard drive
This attractive little hard drive is speedy and sleek. I can take it with me everywhere. Perfect for storing tons of music and personal files to take to work with you just in case.
Rating: - Horrible customer service
As I had just spent hours transferring about 300GB of Data into the new drive, It just stopped working and stopped being recognized by both my MacBook, which is brand new, and my PC. Ok, this stuff happens from time to time, but Western Digital has by far the worst customer service I have ever experienced as an owner of tons of different electronics. After bugging me on the phone for about an hour with stupid questions and requests (plug it and try this and that, etc...), they finally accepted the obvious fact that the product was defective, and told me to ship it to them AT MY OWN expense to send me back a REFURBISHED one. Conclusion, I ended up paying more than the cost of a new drive and ended up with a refurbished one. It works fine but I will question the reliability every time I use it and ended up keeping my old (non-portable) hard drive as a back up of my back up. Rock on, WD!
Rating:  - Very good product, I love it
This is my first portable hard drive, it works very well and better than I expect. I hope the speed of access can be faster, but definitely not too bad. The shinny surface is easy to get the scraches.
Otherwise, it is a very good thing to own, light weight, pocket size, decent capacity, and no separate power needed, etc.
The applications that come w/ the drive not very useful.
