Reviews & Ratings for 250GB My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive This drive was fine in every way for the backup plan I had in mind except that it was formatted as FAT32 so it could not hold a BKF file larger than 4.2 GB without reformatting to NTFS first.

Reviews & Ratings for 250GB My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive My experience with this product was really nice. Always i had been using 4gb to 8gb pen drive but when i realised to get some nice storage media then i got this after researchign on net and after using it i found that it worth having. Even its cost is cheap and its speed is quite nice while moving things here and there.
So over all i am satisfied with this product.

Reviews & Ratings for 250GB My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive I purchased a 250GB Western Digital My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive. It's easy to use, no installation required. It's quick and silent. It is three times smaller than our last 250GB external hard drive. I don't need a lot of cords, one single USB cord, no power cord, no power converter, makes it great.

Reviews & Ratings for 250GB My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive This was the perfect solution for me. I have been very worried about the reliability of the internal HD on my aging laptop and have wanted a back-up solutiion for a long time.

Reviews & Ratings for 250GB My Passport Essential USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive This external hard drive is amazingly fast, amazingly inexpensive, and amazingly portable. It was truly plug and play. if you're laptop is running out of space like mine was, this is a perfect substitute for buying a whole new machine; the external drive by WD has been reliable and fast.
