Lasted less than 24 hours [Posted on 2008-05-19] 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.
Great external hard drive [Posted on 2008-05-20] 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.
Died after 6 months [Posted on 2008-06-16] 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.
WRONG VERSION: DO NOT BUY [Posted on 2008-07-02] This product is an outdated model. It is MORE expensive than newer versions with double the capacity--available on Amazon. Why in God's name is this still for sale at this price? Why in God's name would anyone pay it?
Incidentally I own one and it's a good product.
Warning "You will lose all your Data" Corrupted everything [Posted on 2008-07-09] I transfered all my data and it lasted about two months before I noticed a performance issue (slow response). Then files started to become corrupted. Attempted to transfer to a know good drive, but already lost a large portion of my data.
