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.

Please dont buy any Western Digital Passport.. First check there capacity chart. As they using 1000 MB = 1GB and not 1024MB=1GB. Which is eating lost and lost of your space.

I bought this MyBook 320GB about 3 months ago… it was always a drag on my system, but last eve it got to be an anchor… today it is nothing more than a doorstop!!! I will never buy (after over 10 years of buying WD HD’s mind you!) another WD product, not if it is the last HD on the face of the Earth!
“What’s your back-up plan?” says their website, I notice no customer comments allowed! My back-up is the 93GB of data on the disc that quit working for me last night and is now dead in the water. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. I am so mad I could eat 16d nails and spit tacks.

Unless you want to spend more money after buying this item, find a hard disk that will actually work as advertised. It won’t work on either of my laptops, and I had to buy from Western Digital’s online store (the only place the device is available) a power cord for $10 + $7 shipping. Western Digital ended up charging me twice for said cord, so that so far it’s cost me $35 and the item has not even shipped. The drive seems cheaply made, too. I’m regretting I wasted my money on it when I could have had something better from Seagate or Toshiba. You might think you are saving money by buying a Passport, but if you have to be overcharged and frustrated when nothing is done about the extra charges, and the device doesn’t work on your computer, you are not saving a thing, but looking to buy yourself a large helping of animosity.
