Comments about Western Digital� Hard Drives; My Passport�, 500GB; Black:

I bought this drive to back-up different media that is stored on my old computer. Like most, I rarely backed-up my data. With the recent purchase of a new computer I was faced with the challenge of moving data from the old computer to the new one. Now that I have a back-up (just in case) my fear has diminished.

i tried to add my new desings to the passport and I was unable to get past "you need to format" I could not check my embird programs. I have to wait for a friend to help, since I am not very computer literate and am afraid I will delete or erasse every thing,

Everyday Use

Comments about Western Digital� Hard Drives; My Passport�, 500GB; Black:

I have used WD Passport drives for more than five years as my primary destination for data storage and second drives for backups. When the main CPU for my computer fails or has to be replaced, I never lose any data. These drives are reliable and the data transfer rate is very satisfactory. I am never waiting for a write-operation to complete.
