Product was shipped quickly, worked great, and was the cheapest around. Most 320 GB Passports were double the price. Great buy!
Great HD fits in back of pocket January 6, 2009

I've used the Passport Essential for a few weeks now, using it to back-up documents, music, pictures, and videos. I've been very happy with the product because of the following aspects:
Size/Portability--the drive is small enough to fit in a shirt or back pocket, really easy to carry around and durable enough to be tossed in my luggage.
Ease of Set-up--I'm not the most computer savvy, but all I needed to do was connect the drive to the USB port and the program booted up automatically. WD offers a program called MySync which allows you to pick what you want to back-up, including email. You can pick what you want to back up pretty easily and be able to port that onto other computers.
Style--simple and sleek, it fits in nicely with just about anything.
