    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Extremely small, holds a lot of data, no need for an external source!

    Weaknesses: Scratches easily?

    Overall Evaluation: This product is amazing. I was looking for a small external HD that stores a lot. I have a lot of friends that take pictures as well, so I also prioritized the ability to have a drive that powered from the USB bus. I came across this product originally at Costco, and upon looking at how small it was, I had to have it. I purchased it off of Amazon during the Thanksgiving sales, and I havent looked back since. I really havent owned another portable hard drive, so I have nothing to compare. As stated above, the only downfall appears that it seems to scratch easily. I really don't mind as much, but for the OCD people out there, I thought you would like to know. All I can say is that if you need a portable hard drive, I HIGHLY recommend this one.

    Duration of ownership:1

    Strengths: portability, elegance,big capacity

    Weaknesses: none

    Overall Evaluation: i owned this beauty for 1 day so far and it blows away all my expectations. it is small, yet powerful, elegant. the ibstallation went on flawlessly. the only beef that i may have with it is that it is a bit flimsy, but hey; most of small devices are. if you are looking for a great bung for you buck- look no further. this is it. and for the price i got it at buy.com-$110 after google checkout at buy.com it is a no-brainer. great $/gb ratio too, in my opinion

    Duration of ownership:10 Days

    Strengths: Plug and Play, Small and elegant, large storage capacity

    Weaknesses: None

    Overall Evaluation: I first bought a Western Digital portable 60 GB hard drive nearly a year ago to back up my laptop hard drive. As my portable storage needs increased I recently bought a 160 GB portable drive from WD. I must say both drives function flawlessly. The new 160 GB portable drive is even smaller and thinner than my older 60 GB drive. I love the glossy black finish too. Very elegant! I can back up my 60 GB portable drive and my laptop 60 GB hard drive to my 160 GB portable. I guess my next step next year will be to go for a WD 500 GB external drive.
