CNET Review
The Good: Compact; bus-powered; quick at reading and writing; includes sync and encryption software; comes with a zippered, hard carrying case.
The Bad: Sync software works with only Windows XP and 2000; phone support may eventually become expensive.
The Bottom Line: Western Digital's Passport Portable External Hard Drive lets you take a lot of data on the road for a low price.
Manufacturer: Western Digital Corp.
