This drive is absolutely tiny. I needed something that I could travel with on planes, and this fits the bill nicely. (Lugging my full-sized externals was getting cumbersome) It's as easy to use as any other WD external HDD; just plug it in and you're good to go. I never bother with the junk software they bundle.
2 caveats: a. The included USB cord is very short. It's perhaps a foot long. Not a big deal, but it's pretty useless. b. The drive has zero ventilation. I left it plugged in for 2 hours the other day, and the drive was noticeably warm to the touch. I'm not sure how this will affect the lifespan of the HDD. Only time will tell.
For now, I'm very pleased with this HDD.Get more detail about Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black).
