 Rating:  - WD My Passport 160GB on Asus F3Jc and RM destop PCThis product does exactly what it says on the tin. The drive can be used with or without the encryption/synchronisation software. The software is easy to use and offers 128bit encryption of the backed up data. Thankfully, it is not bloated with un-necessary features and looks pretty much like MS Windows Explorer, giving you access to the backed up drives/folders as if you were accessing them on the master PC. It also will backup and give access to your outlook file system and calendar and to your favourite browser's bookmarks/favourites. It truly is a plug and play solution for those who need to carry their sensitive (or not) data with them. So, if you are a teacher/lecturer and need to roam from one PC to another, ... Read More: Rating: - Good things come in small shiny packages!Well, I've been using this for 4 weeks now and I love it. I have the bigger external Western Digital MyBook 250GB, and it's been so reliable for the past eighteen months that I decided to stick with the same brand for my first portable hard drive. After wrestling with the user-unfriendly blister pack, I plugged it in, deleted all the software on it, and immediately dragged over and backed up 20GB of music. It was that simple, an absolute breeze. As I use it primarily at home as a backup for its big brother, I didn't bother to buy an expensive case for it. When I need to take it out, I just use a spare padded camera pouch which protects it from bumps and key scratches! So far, I'm really pleased with it, and I ... Read More: Rating: - Reliable and well-pricedI have 2 WD drives: one 500GB for home use/backup and one 160GB for on the road. Both are simple to use and reliable; I would recommend WD to you if you are looking for a straightforward Windows or Mac storage device. Incidentally, don't bother with the free/bundled software tools; they offer very little benefit or functionality. Just plug in and go... Rating:  - Excellant, but dont drop it !!!!This is a perfectly good Hard drive. The problem is that it s not shock proof. My young son got his hands on it, it fell a short height and thats the end of the end of that. If you want a portable hard drive, buy one thats shock proof. Rating: - Effortless.I had read a lot about Western Digital Passport drives not getting enough power from certain laptops. I checked my USB 2.0 connections in 'Hardware' in 'system information' and was informed that all 4 were rated at 500mA (Dell Latitude D630) so I did wonder if I would have problems with this unit. However, there were no problems at all. Having got the packaging off with an angle grinder and an industrial laser (and a small first aid kit)** I simply plugged the Passport into a spare USB 2.0 and it started up immediately and was recognised by the system. (XP Pro) I formatted and named it in order to get rid of any dubious (and usually ineffective) software/adware etc that manufacturers provide, and fired up my Acronis True Image 10 ... Read More: |
