Very nice portable storage for the money! [Posted on 2008-10-18]
This portable hard drive is great, its quiet, stays cool, runs completely off the UPS port on your computer for power, and is sleek and stylish looking. Its easily portable, can fit in your pocket and has plenty of space. Its not as fast as the larger 3.5 drives, but its plenty fast enough and works great.
Not worth the price premium over the lower cost model [Posted on 2008-10-21]
They charge substantially more for this model than for the Western Digital WDME3200TN My Passport Essential 320GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Midnight Black).
What do you get for the extra money?
Nothing of significance or even substantive value.
A somewhat burnished case finish which adds nothing.
A drive activity diode which adds nothing.
A cheap cloth pouch which adds nothing.
Stick with the "My Essential" model that offers the same functionality at a lower price. The My Essential model is worthy of 5-stars. The Elite delivers nothing for the extra money.

I'm Happy [Posted on 2008-10-28]
I like this drive a lot now that I don't use the software it came with. Just plug it in and use windows explorer to work everything. It's really convenient being able to take it with me as well. If I go to the library I put it in the little pouch it came with, put that in my backpack, and take it and my computer with me. I have all my professors' online notes saved onto it. Better than a flash drive because it can hold everything at one time, and better than a stationary hard drive because you don't have to leave it in one place.
Good drive with average software. [Posted on 2008-11-26]
This is a very good drive with excellent capacity, however the bundled software - i.e. WDSync is a little clunky. A bit slow with an awkward user interface. It would be nice if you could sync up data without having to encrypt it which: A) takes times to encrypt B) forces you to have to use WDSync to open/view the file. As I say, it would be nice to auto-sync files that are not worthy of encryption but you would still like to be automatically synced and viewable from Windows Explorer.
Still a really nice drive which I would highly recommend.
Great product with features not on the Passport Essential [Posted on 2008-12-22]
The reviewer who said that this product is identical as the WD Passport Essential (other than the soft finish) is incorrect. The two big features that are included with the Elite are backup software and a capacity gauge. You also get remote access software (no biggie for me). The capacity gauge is nice to have and the backup software is a good investment. Great product that works like the Everready Bunny.
