Customer reviews
Western Digital My Passport 250gb.... Black.. XD 
by .. Alfredo P. Gonzalez (Los Angeles, CA USA)
The hard drive is sleek and good looking. It's compact and portable.. the only flaw I can say that I noticed with it was that it seems to get scratched fairly easily. After only a few days of having it it had noticeable scratches.
.
Since then I've also purchased a hard shelled Western Digital case (The black and red one) and its stayed very well protected since then. The hard drive transfers data fairly quickly and has always proven to be reliable...
.
Recommended buy for anyone wanting an external HDD.
Love WD Passport drives!! by .. Paul J. Escamilla (NYC)
I love the Western Digital Passport drives. They are small, inexpensive and reliable. I like them so much i've bought two 250-gigs and a 500-gig....and am planning to buy a terabyte one soon. I'm on a Mac and they work flawlessly.
Backup by .. N. Powell (Los Angeles)
I got exactly what I expected. It was the same product offered in stores, but at a cheaper price.
Very Disappointed 
by .. J. Park (Atlanta, GA)
I bought this drive because I have the previous version of WD Passport and it is fantastic.
This version, however, is a huge disappointment. WD set aside about 700mb for their Virtual CD
which prompts you to install their software everytime you connect the hard drive.
In order to de-activate it, you have to download several software from their website and go through a long step.
Even then, you will not get that 700mb of space back.
I understand that they are trying give us the software but why can we not delete the program if we do
not want to use it? I do not usually leave reviews but this is just unacceptable to me.
I will not buy another product from WD unless they stop doing this.
Poor Connector; Tempermental by .. Mark C. Kratt (Winston Salem NC USA)
For a portable hard drive, the connector is way too temperamental. Just the slightest movement of the cable anywhere along its length will disconnect it. Nice price but there is no portability here - you need a stable desktop environment to use it. Constant unplanned disconnects caused the drive to crash many times and I lost lots of data.
