Strengths: the design, the size, the convenience, the capacity of the hard-drive(s), the fact that it has rubber-protection-covers on the ports, and the fact that it's USB-'bus' powered.
Weaknesses:ask my mother
Overall Evaluation: bottom line: i found this portable hard-drive in a Costco in Keller, TX, for $89.88, and my mother wouldn't buy it because she says "it's too expensive" and "she can't afford that". and also, she, at the same time, goes out and buys my brother a full-extras Suzuki SX4 and a laptop AND a plane-ticket to Argentina. right, so she could afford a $36,000.00 car (because she bought it overseas), a $2,000.00 laptop, and a $700-something dollar plane-ticket, but she 'CAN'T' "afford" a $89.88 portable-hard-drive. right..... (explain to me the logic in THAT :-P ). P.S. you can e-mail her (PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO SO; I've tried reasoning with her. SHE STILL WON'T LISTEN. i mean for god's sake, she still thinks that you can buy WINDOWS XP!) at micaza@pancanal.com and micaza@cwpanama.net , for your own personal critics [to her on the situation], comments [to her on the situation], and laugh(ter) [at her on the situation]. i'd really welcome it. the more people that show her that she needs psychological-and-psychiatrical-help as fast as Britney Spears [does], the better.

Strengths: small size, lightweight, style, capacity
Weaknesses:xfer speed can be slow
Overall Evaluation: The WD Passport External 160GB USB HD is a very nice small, lightweight and stylish USB HD. Because of its lightweight, it can be easily carried around. The capacity is excellent for its size and weight, and the blue LED lights up very nicely. However, even though the casing looks stylish, fingerprints can get all over the pretty casing easily. The buffer speed is a little slow and it doesn't xfer as fast as other External USB HDs. However overall this is a very nice little HD.

Duration of ownership: 7 Months
Strengths: Small, Sleek designGood Read and write speed
Weaknesses:Scratches really easy, May not be compatible with all laptops
Overall Evaluation: I have bought this baby sep 07, and haven't had any issues with it. It can handle large files pretty well, and reads all my files when I plug it into my xbox. That said, there is a compatibility issue when pluging the drive into older laptop models. I notice that all G3 IBOOKS can't pick up the drive, sometimes clicking. Old laptop models or models with very low USB power out put should stay away from this drive unless you have one of those y cables. Otherwise G4, MB and MBP Laptops will love their new travel buddy.
