"First, a word about its limits: speed and (as delivered) file size. I think the speed is limited by the USB 2.0 connection: gigabyte-sized files may take a few minutes to save. It comes formatted as a FAT32 file system, an older way of handling files, which is compatible with a wider range of systems. FAT32 limits the size of files to 4 GB (4,294,967,295 bytes) each. The manual (which, oddly, is on the drive..." Read Full Review »

"Pros It really worked great for the first week. Cons Then the female usb plug broke irrepairably on the unit resulting in a loss of data. Additional Thoughts The plastic part that failed was much more brittle than other mini-usb ports that I currently use and have used daily for years. I even tried to duplicate this failure on an old device that I do not use anymore and could not...." Read Full Review »

Pros

"I use this product for my work in Iraq every day. Even though there were only 297 GB on this thing when it was supposed to be 320 GB, I realize that ALL external hard drives have this deficiency. Aside from that, this product works very well and very fast. It's ready to go the minute you plug it in. …" Read Full Review »

Western Digital WD Passport Essential 320GB Hard Drive Review
"Pros
Easy to use and set up, small, good looking.
Cons
Haven't found any yet.
Additional Thoughts
This was perfectly what I wanted, plug it in, drag and drop, unplug it and go. Shows up in "my computer" as another hard drive and you use it like one. Very simple and quick. I love it!

Western Digital WD Passport Essential 320GB Hard Drive Review
"The Western Digital My Passport Essential 320GB USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive (Midnight Black) is the largest capacity in the portable essentials line-up. They say that this is the update to the regular Western Digital 320 GB Passport Hard Drive and I own both of them. In fact I also own many other po …" Read Full Review »

"I've got about 10 drives from this series ranging from 60GB to this 320GB and not a single failure over two years. That's a great track record.
Also, the case is easy to pop and inside is a drive that makes a great laptop drive upgrade and the drive is actually quite fast once USB is out of the e

Western Digital WD Passport Essential 320GB Hard Drive Review
"The 320 GB passport is the largest one available and has a lot going for it. I own several portable hard drives in the Western Digital passport lineup and so far so good. I couldn't be happier. Some smaller sizes are priced more attractively. Passport hard drives also come in a new and slightly thic …" Read Full Review »
