lots of space, August 7, 2009
This review is from: My Passport Essential WDMER5000 - Hard drive - 500 GB - external - Hi-Speed USB - real red (Personal Computers)
This is a great product. It has tons of space for my son's extravagant photo collection. It is small and can be carried around easily, it plugs into the USB port, and so is incredibly convenient. It's the best for back-up data storage at a reasonable price. It does not require an external power source. I highly recommend it.

Best Portable Drive Today, January 19, 2009
This review is from: My Passport Essential WDMER5000 - Hard drive - 500 GB - external - Hi-Speed USB - real red (Personal Computers)
This portable hard drive is great! There is only 1 cord for power and data which makes it ultra convenient. It is top of the market today, however as the price point for data storage decreases soon we will see greater capacity for cheaper prices. Don't be fooled into thinking you'll get 500 GB. Because of file formatting you will loose at least 40 GB, meaning this thing only stores about 460 GB. That being said, you won't be dissapointed with the WD Hard Drive!
