I bought the 250GB model in November 2008. It was a savings over other products I looked at. My purpose was to use it as an inexpensive backup device to save my data, a portable way of carrying all of my data without lugging a laptop around, and as a tool to use to keep my office & home computers synchronized. It has served me well in each case. I chose to use Microsoft SyncToy 2.0 for the synchronization. It's a "no brainer!" I synch my office desktop to my Passport & my Passport with my home computer & vice-versa. It takes only a few minutes, although I have hundreds of GBs of data & about 120,000 (My Document) files. I also have other data which I do not sync regularly. At any time, except while travelling, my data on the three of these is identical. I also find this extremely valuable in helping me to keep Mp3 files catalogued the same wherever I go. My device is now over 2/3's full. I am looking into buying a 500GB drive when I see a "Special Buy" somewhere.Get more detail about Western Digital My Passport Essential 500 GB USB 2.0 Portable External Hard Drive WDME5000TN (Midnight Black).
