Product DescriptionA luxurious soft-touch finish makes these drives easy to grip, comfortable to hold, and beautiful to show off to your friends. Combine that with mega-capacity that fits in your pocket, plus four powerful features -- capacity gauge, automatic backup, sync and encryption, and remote access software -- and you'll understand why we call these little drives Elite. Capacity Gauge allows you to connect My Passport to your computer and see at a glance how much space is available on your drive. Save a copy of your photos to an online sharing service, duplicate your e-mail and contacts to your iPod, and back up all the precious files on your computer to your My Passport. Set it and forget it; every time you plug your My Passport into your computer your data is automatically backed up. WD Sync synchronization and encryption software lets you take your critical data with you. Plug My Passport into any PC, edit files, read e-mail, and view photos. Then sync all of your changes back to your home or office computer. Your data is protected with 128-bit encryption. (Windows only) Connect My Passport to any PC and run MioNet Key software to remotely access files, music, and photos from any of your computers with MioNet software installed.

A small and efficient external hard drive (Rating: 5 out of 5) This external hard drive is everything that I was looking for; it's very small and it's fast.
Small & Great! (Rating: 5 out of 5) Great little hard-drive. I've only used it on one computer for about 3 months but no issues. Really easy to set up and very small. I purchased a case and plan to travel with it as well.
Flawless function, but imperfect design (Rating: 4 out of 5) The WD My Passport Elite is very nearly perfect. Data transfers are fast and quiet, and the unit does not get too hot. And its compact size makes it easy to stow in your laptop bag. I'd give it 5 stars were it not for two shortcomings. First, the capacity gauge/activity lights are on the same side as the USB connector so they face away from you when the drive is plugged in. You have to pick it up and turn it around, but this is awkward with the short USB cable. Second, the black dye in the carrying case has left black smudges on the side of the unit that won't wash off, making the arguably ugly bronze exterior a little more so. But aesthetics aside, this is a great drive for the price.
Color no no (Rating: 3 out of 5) I just got it so I can't talk much about performance. However it was recommended to me, so I hope it wont disappoint me. The only thing I don't like so far is the color. Because the finish is a matte bronze, it doesn't even look bronze, it looks like brown. Even worse, it looks like mud or something else I'm not even gonna bother mentioning. So, if you are really into those superficial details, then I suggest buying it another color, or putting stickers on it. lol
Worth it (Rating: 5 out of 5) I am very satisfied with this product. I got it for a sale price and they gave me free WD passport pouch as part of their promotions. The 320 GB is large enough for all my files. The less glossy portable hard drive is better than my previous black glossy WD hard dirve. Overall, I would strongly recommend it.
