From Home to School
(5 out of 5) by Olu on Sep 18, 2005 (Florida, USA)the best part of this devise is the lightweight factor. This proved to be a ood purchase also because there is no need for software instillation(altleast for XP), just plug & play. I dropped it once already and it'S still tickin' so THIS IS A GOOD BUY!!!.

Very nice drive-- Works fine with Mac/PC, also FAST
(5 out of 5) by Jeffrey Heaton on Aug 8, 2006 (St. Louis, MO)I bought two of these for rotating backups. Works very well, no drivers needed. I can just plug it into Windows or my Mac Powerbook and everything works well. It is also very fast, 5400rpm. It runs faster than my Segate, which has to be plugged in.
It is great not having to plug this drive into the AC. It simply draws power from the USB cable. If you did need to use an adapter, it uses a common 12V adapter that you should be able to buy at Radio Shack or similar.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT
(5 out of 5) by Michael Corbett on Sep 14, 2006 (Florida)One very cool use of this product is you can create a shortcut for it on your desktop and then click and drag anything you want saved. I can click and drag any program icon on my desktop to the WD Passport's shortcut icon and the program and all its files are saved instantly.

fast drive
(5 out of 5) by Tony Tate on Aug 8, 2005got this for mobile-- didn't realize it was 5400 rpm- which was faster than any other 2.5" and really performed well. Case is nice, looks metalish? Great value considering it's a WD drive inside.

Recommendable!!
(5 out of 5) by Jeannie Kim on Mar 3, 2006 (old tappan, nj)Very light and truly the size of a palm. Also, it only requires one USB port, so it's very convenient! Highly recommendable!
