    Strengths: Light, compact, fast and only USB access

    Weaknesses:Easily stained encasing, but this is only cosmetic and if you really care.

    Overall Evaluation: A great HDD that enables to back up your important documents and take ti anywhere. It also a great companion to take to work and on flights. Installation and use are as simple as Plug-n-Play The drive on this is a 5400rpm. I wish they were able to provide 7200rpm disks in this compact capicity.

    Duration of ownership: 18 Days

    Strengths: Product is well designed and seems well made; lightweight and attractive. Setup was easy plug-n-play. Data transfer rates are satisfactory.

    Weaknesses:Initially addressing the drive during any session takes several seconds. Also, there seems to be an intermittent problem about unsolicited compression of files before transfer.

    Overall Evaluation: I bought the unit on the recommendation of my wife, who has been using the 250GB Passport happily for over a year. It seems to be meeting my needs. I don't know whether to attribute the problems mentioned above under "Weaknesses" to the drive or to my Vista operating system on my Toshiba laptop.

    Strengths: I like it as it is silent, fast data transfer and portable.

    Weaknesses:None so far

    Overall Evaluation: I wanted to have portable drive with maximum capacity available and with no need to connect power cord to it. This portable one would just need USB cable for data transfer and you are done. As this is portable drive, and it is meant to be carried, whenever needed... just to be on safer side keep your important stuff as backup in DVD or other drives.. so that if accidently this portable drive gets physically damaged by hit or drop, you should be safe and incur minimal important data loss..
