 Died after 6 months June 16, 2008
If you use any kind of external harddrive BACK UP DAILY! I cannot stress this enough. This is my third portable hard drive from 3 different companies. WD Passport 160 GB died after 6 months.
 Great external hard drive May 20, 2008
Great product, it has huge memory, so far I transferred everything from my laptop and it still has a lot of free space. It's very fast (although I only have a 1.1 USB port, so with a 2.0 it should be even faster). The sync software is not to die for... you will not see your documents with the explorer.. but other than that, it is a great memory device.
 Lasted less than 24 hours May 19, 2008
I bought this drive. It installed ok, was recognized, and then within 24 hours became corrupted and useful as only a smallish paper weight. Western Digital's tech support was reasonably helpful, but the speed of its demise worries me, a lot.
Peace of mind May 17, 2008
This is a great backup system. Take it out of the package and connect to the computer. Works on my Mac and my PC. Both computers recognized the drive immediately. It does not get any better than this. So now I have peace of mind that I can back up my work and take it with me in a small format that fits in my jacket pocket.
It broke, I lost 140GB of data, and the company will not be help responsible for their product's inability to perform. May 17, 2008

DON'T BUY THIS. I have lost al my family photos, business photos, business invoices, family important documents ..... get the picture? They are selling an item which we TRUST ... we use it to PROTECT important things. But the company WILL give you a replacement! HA! FOR WHAT? To lose it again? Oh, and if you like, you can pay between $500 and $2000 to see if maybe someone can save ANY of your data.
Western Digital is in the wrong business.
