Light and easy to carryStrengths: Light weight, 320 GB space Weakness: Plastic body I bought this drive to replace the hard-drive on my macbook. Surprisingly the same drive that Western Digital sells as internal drive is costlier than the external drive. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Works like it shouldStrengths: Largest capacity available to date in portable 2.5" external drive. Weakness: USB cable provided is a little short for desktop users. Hard drive has to be reformatted from FAT32 to NTFS for files larger than 4GB. You gain slightly more storage through NTFS. You plug this external drive into a PC's or Mac's USB 2.0 port and instantly gain 320 GB of storage. No external power adapter is used. This drive is good to back up your PC's or laptop's internal hard drive. Price per GB is high for this 2.5" drive compared to 3.5" external hard drives. The lowest price I've seen so far is $150 for this WD drive. This drive's speed is adequate. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Passport 2.5" External 320GB Hard DriveStrengths: Lots of space in a small package. Usb powered. Lightweight. Weakness: It's not 7200rpm. The internal drive within the case is a sata drive which makes a good replacement for the newer laptops with internal sata drives. It's great as a backup drive also. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Ultimate Portable StorageStrengths: + Small form factor, large capacity, doesn't require external power Weakness: - Smooth black plastic case shows fingerprints, doesn't come with sleeve or carrying case The WD Passport 320GB is currently your best option for 2.5" external hard drive if you are looking to maximize the amount of storage you carry with you. I use this drive to store all my music and movies, so as not to fill up my smaller internal hard drive on my MacBook. I love it. No real complaints thus far. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Great, Cheap, and Reliable Portable StorageStrengths: Small, Quiet, Clean Looking, Fairly Durable and Reliable. Weakness: Somewhat slow data transfer rate and WD could put more storage space in the Passports. It works great if you have photos, videos, or any other data that either needs to be backed up or put on additional space. The Passport is extremely portable and fits in my pocket. It is a great product. I have a 250 and a 320 and am happy with both. I just with my 320 was shipped with a nice neoprene carrying case like my 250. With my experience and knowledge, the WD Passports are very reliable as well. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Good ValueStrengths: 320GB USB powered. Quiet, attractive case. Weakness: Minor: Mini-USB connector is kind of loose, case is easy to scratch. No protective carrying case included. The mini-USB connector is allowed to jiggle sideways. Not a solid connection like my other devices that use the mini USB connector. I noticed this because on my digi-cam and PSP the connector mates solidly. 100% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

THE BEST JUST GOT BETTER.Strengths: Nice size for the capacity, lightweight and easy to use. Weakness: Depending on your computer, you may need to purchase a "Y" type usb cable to provide enough power. This has to be the best gift you can get someone who has lots of photos or mp3s that they want to preserve. Its also great if you have a new computer that you want to transfer your old files to, or to save/archive the files off your old one. About the size of a package of index cards. 78% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

power up problem with this hard driveStrengths: nice looking, big space Weakness: My laptops do not recognize it, until I buy an additional Power Booster Cable from WD website store. My two laptops do not recognize it, only works well with my desktops. First I thought this is the problem with the vista system on my laptop, tried to find a driver for it but nothing listed on the WD website. After wasting a lot of time I realized that this is the power issue, and had to buy an additional Power Booster Cable (WDCA029RNN) to power up the drive. Too bad they don't suggest you at the time when you buy the hard drive. After spent $17 and wait a week, I finally got the cable then it can work with my laptop. 50% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

WD Passport 320GBStrengths: Nice small and light enclosure, largest capacity available (and should be for a while), good price/GB, 3-year warranty Weakness: Included cable is short, doesn't include protective case (sold separately), glossy finish shows fingerprints easily The WD Passport is a very simple, minimalist external hard drive. Inside is a speedy Western Digital Scorpio drive which benchmark scores show very fast sequential read/write speeds--mostly needed when transferring large data files. Available in multiple sizes, 320GB is currently the largest 2.5" hard drive (what's inside the WD Passport, the same as in most laptops) and should be for a good while.

Perfect capacity & sizeStrengths: Compact, sleek, ultra portable. Weakness: Small 2MB cache and 5400 RPM. This is a very small, ultra portable external 2.5" drive with a huge 320GB capacity. It's powered via USB and comes with a USB cable. I almost wish it included a cloth since every smudge and fingerprint is left on the extremely shinny plastic case. If you search for "PHDC1" here on PriceGrabber.com you'll find the perfect case for this drive. I got my case in black and it's perfect to throw into my briefcase or backpack to have 320GB of storage mobility. WD is making these in multiple colors now, so basic black can be had for cheap! Shop around. Highly recommended portable drive. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Finally! USB Powered 320gb
Strengths: Runs on USB power alone. No extra wires required. This makes laptop recording a breeze.
Weakness: 5400rpm vs 7200rpm on AC units. Need to develop a usb pwr 7200rpm hard drive.
Small size and weight fits in top pocket. Can carry to multiple sites and also had password protection. Mine was preformatted for a MAC but can be reformatted for windows. You will not find a 320mb USB powered from ANY other manufacturer - I looked. Max is 250mb elsewhere.
