This drive failed on me at three weeks. It first began acting funny on my co-worker's machine, but we didn't make the connection to hard drive issues at the time. The next day, it began randomly disconnecting and then reconnecting on the USB port. Shortly after that, Windows XP began issuing alerts that cache writes to the drive were failing. Then read/writes of various files. When I then ran chkdsk on the drive, it would get to about 25% of the second phase (out of five, I believe), issue an audible ... Read More

I brought this hard drive for storing and transferring my data. It works pretty well with my Dell laptop.
Pros:-
1. very small and handy
2. no additional power needed
Cons:-
1. Slightly slow in data transfer rate, it took about 20 minutes for transferring 20 GB of data)
2. the USB cable is slightly small
Haven't used the sync software hence no comments on that

Not much to add to what's been said here. I use one of these daily for Time Machine backups on OS X, and I keep a clone of my laptop's drive on a second WD Passport drive, stored offsite in case of a fire or theft. They've performed perfectly, if a little slowly.

This absolute worthless piece of junk lasted for five days of mild use and I lost 500 gbs of photos. This is the 2nd Passport that I have problems with. Stick to a Lacie Rugged, Much better product. Oh yeah and DO NOT PURCHASE FROM "INFINITE SURPLUS" !!! They refused to take it back and asked me to go thru Western Digital directly even though it's only been 5 days. Scumbags. Stick to a decent company with a decent return policy.
