Before the passport drives came out, external drives were big, heavy, clumsy devices that were hard to install and required separate power supplies.
Passport changed this. These drives are 2.5" tiny, super quiet, USB 2.0 drives that draw their power directly from the computer themselves. They're in one word fantastic and they're beautiful too.
Quite frankly the 160GB model is out of date and you should consider getting the Western Digital 320 GB Passport 2.5" USB 2.0 Hard Drive or Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black) models which are cheaper than this hard to find hard drive which is overly expensive now.
I thought I'd review it because I reviewed the 500gb model and thought that I should write down the entire history.
"160GB WD harddrive portable"

nice little hard drive. hasn't failed on me yet so I'm thankful. pricey at the time I bought it. I'd recommend it.
When the drive works, it works well. I had issues with the drive not spinning up, though this was due to power limitations on the hub I had it plugged in to. Even USB Hubs that advertise USB 2.0 Compatibility do not guarantee that they will supply the amount of power required by USB 2.0. This means that this hard drive will not work for you. This hard drive requires 1 amp at spin up, most USB hubs provide at most 500mA per port, or half of what this drive needs. I had other problems where it would spin up for a few seconds, long enough for windows to recognize it as a drive and ask about autorun, then shut down. It would go through this cycle for hours if left unattended. This would result in hundreds of autorun windows open on my computer. Other issues I have seen with this drive are transfer rates dropping to 0 and clicking sounds. I have yet to lose any data and it still works so I can't complain too much.

I had the 160GB WD for several years and found it to be very reliable at home or on the road. Its compact size and "feather weight" make it a must have for laptop users--or other WD portables HDs for that matter... I am happy to say that I just purchased the 500GB behemoth version!
Highly, highly recommended!!

This little gadget is amazing. The thing that i like the most about it is its size. Very practical and whole lot of memory....
This is a great idea. I considered it to be a great way to back up my system and files while shifting computers. It was only partially successful because it is not compatible with Mac 9 and only sporadically compatible with Mac OS X.
