Buying Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black)


This is an easy to use harddrive that always works (whereas Firelite drives i've had seem to have problems either writing or powering up using a laptop USB port). The only thing i'll add to the many reviews is that this harddrive came with a USB power cable which did not work on my Dell D600 laptop (fairly middle of the line laptop). i called customer service and asked about how to work around this, and they said they have a cable that they'd send out. A week or so later, i got the box, free shipping, no hassles, and it was a USB power cable that used 2 USB ports to power the harddrive but now works perfectly. On my other Dell laptop, i don't need the double-plug solution, but i just wanted to point out the great service and that Firelite drives require a separate AC adapter (that costs money) if your USB port doesn't supply enough power.Get more detail about Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black).
