    Strengths: Compact and light - perfect for travel.Plugs into computer, no need for electrical outlet.Turns off automatically when computer turns off or hibernates

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: I already had a 80GB WD Passport and was very pleased with it, but needed more space. On the basis of my past experience with WD, I bought the 320GB WD My Passport and it hasn't disappointed me. It works well and I've had no problem with it. I highly recommend it.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Highest portable HD capacity available currently in its class. Sleek black colored design. Small footprint and very portable. Low $/GB ratio.

    Weaknesses:Attractive aesthetic shell scratches easily. Included USB cable is extremely short. USB cable is single pronged, which may be an issue for computers with low-powered USB ports.

    Overall Evaluation: Western Digital continues with what it has been doing right with its My Passport line of drives. This updated line codenamed "Essential" uses the same internal drives as previous Passports. The only difference is the case, which has undergone a slight redesign. The newer case is even smaller, has more rounded edges, and lighter in weight. The status indicator has also been moved to the back of the case, which may be a welcome alteration to those who find the blinking activity light annoying. Other than the aesthetic changes, this Passport Essential drive is still as portable, reliable, and easy to use as ever.

    Strengths: Small, perfect for travelling, big storage size.

    Weaknesses:Cover is easily scratch.

    Overall Evaluation: WD Passport 320 GB is a great portable storage. Its perfect for travelling since it usb powered. It also have a big capacity considering the size. The transfer rate is decent, 5400 rpm. The only weakness that I could find is the cover is easily scratch; but it's not a big deal for me. In overall, I highly recommend this product especially for traveller who needs extra storage minus bulky hard drive.
