cant complain, works great:
seems to be working out well, no complaints, i like that it does not need to have a seperate power source. they could however do a redesign to make the cable somehow a solid part of the drive, with the option of still being able to use another cable, i dunno, something like that might be nice. Overall, a good solid drive.
Tough drive!:
Not much to report after owning this drive for a bit over a year. Not a single problem out of it. I used it on Windows, OS X, and Linux systems without a hitch. A wonderful (accidental) test of it's durability was a few months ago. I was in a rush to class and grabbed my laptop without realizing the drive was still connected. Before the computer could suspend (IE the drive was still spinning) I lifted the laptop up, swinging the drive by the cable across my desk and into my rather hard plastic chair.... more info
Western Digital 120 GB Portable Hard Drive:
Western Digital WDXMS1200TN Passport 120 GB USB 2.0 2.5-Inch Portable Hard Drive We had this product for 6 months and it suddenly stopped working with no warning. I lost my entire backup data. The product came with a limited 4 months warranty. Outside the warranty Western Digital require $14/- for technical support per incident, but no assurance of recovering the data. So baisically we have to discard this.
Good backup unit:
I bought this last September for $91.34 with shipping, and its been a life saver ever since, the only thing you have to be careful with is that when you go to plug it use the Motherboards USB slots (The ones in the back plate), don't use the front ports on your case because the front ports don't give enough power to the HD and can kill it in the long run. All laptop ports are good though.
