Customer Reviews

Its Pink and its great!
This little gadget is brilliant! I have had it for nearly a month now and it delivers! Its neat, small, and does exactly what it is meant to do. No problems recommending it at all...

A pocket wonder
This hard disk drive is not much bigger than a mobile phone - 12.6cm x 7.9cm x 1.5cm - and holds a whopping 250Gb.

This makes is the perfect back-up drive that you can take with you. I carry mine in my laptop bag, so that should my laptop hard disk fail I have all my data with me and can still work. Assuming I can borrow a PC or laptop that is.

At home it can sit in a drawer and, if you want to pop round a friends house and share some tunes, it will sit in your pocket without causing an embarrassing bulge.

I have been using Western Digital for years and have never had any technical problems - I simply upgrade for capacity.

The one negative is the bundled sync software. It's a dog and is best avoided. Search for syncback on Google and you will find a great backup utility that is free for the basic version and very cheap for the full version.

The final point about My Passport Essential is the wonderful choice of colours. No more dull grey or black technology, these drives are busting with colour.

Great technology, very reliable, huge choice of colours and very keenly priced.

Five stars.

You can't ever have enough pink!
This is definitely for the girl who loves pink. I bought this for my daughter who has a pink MSI Wind and it is a perfect accessory - a decent sized harddrive and good price. Very happy with this purchase.
