This is a great hard drive (so far). The lack of needing a power supply makes it so much more portable, and it fits really snugly into the CaseLogic case I got with it.
The only real problem I have (and the reason for 4 stars) is the speed of the drive. The stats on the drive said transfers would be comparable to that of FireWire 400 (why I believed that, I have no idea), but it's about half as fast as FW400. I didn't buy the machine to run movies off of it (I have a FW400 drive for that) so the lack of speed doesn't concern me too much.
Overall, this is a solid, attractive, extremely portable hard drive that doesn't require power and will hopefully last me a long, long time.Get more detail about Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black).
