I needed a slim, portable drive to store a large collection of digital pictures for use in a hobby-related website. The MY PASSPORT is a perfect size if portability is important to you. I knew I would want to be able to plug up to different computers, so a desktop model seemed too cumbersome. The drive is light by well built, thin but no t so small that it will get lost or dropped. It comes loaded with some proprietary software I could do without, but a quick delete took care of that. I use Mac and PC platforms, and it moves seamlessly between the two. And for its diminuative size and lack of AC power (it is USB powered), transfer times in large movements of files is pretty good. Of course, bigger desktop models will work faster, but for a portable drive it hums along.
In short, I'm pleased with the purchase. Get more detail about Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black).
