 No nonsense drive with no frills (not that you need frills!!) August 26, 2008
Dr. D. E. Goldwater (Bushey, Herts, UK)
This was delivered last week. It looks very nice (although it gets grubby fingerprints on it when you look at it). It should really come with a case but I found it fits like a glove in my Archos case which I had replaced.
I have not bothered with the software but as a drive it is quiet and quick and HUGE. All my photos, music and video backed up in minutes.
I have not a bad word to say about this product. This is not really a terribly sexy area of technology but I am quite excited to own this.

WD Passport (E) 320GB External Drive August 13, 2008

I have recently purchased this product and I am delighted about its portability and massive capacity of 320GB. My only disappointment is that
I have been unabled to synchronize this drive with my computer hard drive, as claimed by Western Digital. I am running Windows XP SP3. I am
in contact with Western Digital Support, who are great in providing the
required advice, and I hope that eventually I will succeed in synchronizing my device with my computer. As a storage device and portability gets full marks. If anybody managed to get this device synchronized with their computer, using Windows XP, please advise me accordingly.
Best regards
E. Sophocleous
Great Things Come In Small Packages August 7, 2008

From the very moment that i opened the packaging i knew that i had made the right decision to part with my cash for this little beauty.
It is small and will fit into a shirt or trouser pocket with ease. It feels very well made and the shiny outer housing is a nice touch as is the white light that glows from the USB port on the side. Superb little piece of kit, this should be a necessity for the seasoned traveller.
Great piece of kit, buy one now. July 25, 2008

Ordered this because i needed extra space for my macbook, arrived next day. This is a superb piece of kit, i needed the extra space for video editing. Powered by USB, quick transfer times and whisper quite, it even matches the white of the Mac. My only complaint is that it has no firewire connection, but you can't have everything.
I can't believe they have crammed a 320gb drive into a enclosure the height & width of a passport with a thickness of 15mm, At a shade under 75 this is superb value for money, buy one now.
