Looking good, but some power issues... December 1, 2008

I've already got an older 60GB My Passport which is excellent; has always worked fine even after dropping it five feet onto a wooden floor. br / br /The new one (320GB My Passport Essential) looks much the same and I am confident that it will be just as good...once I get it powered up. I plugged it into my four-year-old home Dell laptop and it failed to start up; the older 60GB version works fine attached to that computer. When I plugged the 320GB My Passport into my newer work laptop it worked absolutely fine. br / br /The solution is to phone Western Digital European Tech Support (00800 275 49338) who know all about this problem; it is because older computers may not deliver enough power via the USB port to power the My Passport. However, they will post you a replacement cable free of charge. The new cable plugs into TWO USB ports and hence collects double the power from the computer. I haven't got it yet but will update this review when I have.
 Small, cool, quiet and fast November 15, 2008

The best of a variety of external HDD's I've used. I store VMware images on mine, and my virtual machines run great even though they're on a USB drive. With the compact size, and the fact that it is cool and quiet I highly recommend.
