Customer Reviews for: Western Digital Passport Essential Portable 250GB USB 2.0 External Hard Drive (WDME2500TN)

Rating

- Does what a hard drive should
Picked this up for use as a backup disc for a MacBook using Apple's Time Machine. Runs flawlessly off bus power directly from the laptop. Running without a hitch for nearly 3 months at this point and warrantied for 3 years. Sleek, small, convenient. Have several WD externals and no complaints yet. Well worth it.

Rating

- D.O.A.
This drive was DOA. I tried using on Windows XP Pro and Windows Vista Home Premium systems and it didn't work on either. I must have got the dud drive and I returned it.

Rating

- Great little hard drive
This attractive little hard drive is speedy and sleek. I can take it with me everywhere. Perfect for storing tons of music and personal files to take to work with you just in case.
