Title of review Avoid
What are the strengths? Good looks.
What are the weaknesses? This machine uses too much USB power for an average laptop and does not have its own source. Tested it on Thinkpad T60 and Dell D620, both reported "power surge on USB port" error. Could not get it to work at all, returned to factory.
Summary Avoid. WD Passport comes with a very short cable. Longer cable that gets power from two USB ports is $10 extra, but you will not know whether you need this or not before you buy the machine.
Do you recommend this product? No
