Pros: Bought this to hold songs and movies in it so that when I had to go some where I could use it on my tablet and with it being small it worked out great.

Cons: Work great for about two months then died on me and took over 400GB's of movies with it.

Other Thoughts: I have been using WD HD's in all of my computers for years now but this was the first EX HD I have bought from them. It lasted for about two months then died and took over 400GB's of movies with it. SO with that I had to take off two stars. I guess I had to get a bad apple sooner or later.

Pros: - Compact
- Stores Data

Cons: - Poor manufacturing.
- Expires long before real passports do.

Cost me about 25$ a month because I have to buy a new hard drive after 8 months.

Other Thoughts: Buy an internal HD for storage, if you want to move data from place to place get a USB flash card.

Pros: USB 3.0 Support-- I use it primarily with USB 2.0 hosts, but when connected to a 3.0 host, transfer speeds are super fast.

Reliability-- The drive is constantly plugged into my Desktop machine and I've never had a problem. I store most of my important data, including but not limited to my downloaded iTunes content, and computer backups. The drive comes with utilities for both Windows and Macintosh computers.

Portability-- If you're looking for a large-capacity drive that you can easily store away when travelling or something small that won't take up as much space wherever you're using it, this drive is the one to go for. Length and width wise, the drive is roughly the size of my wallet and about as thick as my portable DVD drive.

Cons: Only con is that I didn't purchase the 2TB version instead of the 1TB. This isn't really a con, though!

Other Thoughts: I didn't purchase this product from Newegg however I only have good things to say about it. If you purchase this, you'll quickly see that it's money well spent! It's certainly one of my wiser computer hardware purchases.

Pros: Good price, promised good features, but could not experience any of those.

Cons: Arrived DOA. beeping and flashing. that is about it.

Pros: Great and small HD, works really well. As good as my other WD Passport that I got 3 years ago.

Cons: none.

Pros: This packs a large amount of memory into a small case. It does not get as hot as some of my previous drives, I am hoping that means it will have a longer lifespan. The USB cord that comes with is the perfect size, not so short that you can't move, and not so long that it gets caught. This is my first unpowered drive, and I love not being attached to a power outlet. There are no issues streaming movies or TV shows right from the drive, the exchange is fast enough for a smooth show.

Cons: sensative!

When this thing is running, you can not move it at all! I was streaming a movie and the only issue I had was when I moved the hard drive around.

Other Thoughts: I am happy with my purchase so far. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan, so I will be putting this drive to the test. I will update this review in 6 months and let you know how it holds up. Thank you Newegg for being one of the few companies who will ship out here!

Pros: Quite fast and reliable

Cons: None really.

Pros: Small size. Fits right into the pouch in my laptop sleeve.
really quiet
non obtrusive. there's one small white light near where the USB cable connects.

Cons: none so far

Other Thoughts: I picked this up to run time-machine backups for my MacBook Air. Reformatting took seconds and wiped all that extra WD apps junk off it I really do not need or want to use.

Cable is plenty long, not sure how others can complain about that. I've been messing with externals since the days they were more like the size of a shoebox and the case feels sturdy to me...

No complaints. Price was right and I've had very good luck with WD products so far. Hopefully this continues that tradition.

Pros: It's portable, doesn't require its own power.

Cons: It wasn't free

Other Thoughts: I used my new drive to back up 600+gb of data that I had stored across several older external drives. It seemed to be going rather slow. My old data is usb2 and was only reading at 10.1mbps. The new usb3 device was running only at 30mbps. That was, until I disabled my McAfee scanner. Then I was getting 25-30mbps for the usb2 and 50-60mbps for the usb3 which isn't that bad considering I'm running an old AMD 3.0gb dual core on an old 32bit win7 that has 4gb of ram and a 7 year old fsb.

The short cord could be con depending on what your needs are, but it works nicely for what I need.

I also only attach it when I need it and I don't use the built in back up software.

Pros: Works great for the Wii Console and for the PC (2 partitions - 1 FAT32 or NTFS / 1 WBFS). Speed is all it can be at USB 2.0, but am yet to try 3.0 (sure it's fine though). Travels whereever my Wii goes and it's awesome to not have to muck with a Power Adapter!

Cons: None so far...

Other Thoughts: Great price for the convenience and capacity! I love it!
