I might as well have written the back-up files long hand! It takes less effort...." Read Full Review »

"My laptop is power book, and it doen't support power enough to recognize wd passport (sony or other windows pc laptop recognize it). If you have 15" or 17" mac power book or laptop, you should buy the 22" USB 2.0 Power Booster Cable which doesn't include the package. "
