Western Digital WDC 3200BMV external 250 gig USB hard drive Review

 Keep your promise to yourself..........to back up your files
It's fast and easy with the Passport!

 Love this palm-sized hard drive!
When I bought my latest computer, I knew it was past time to protect all my photos.  In the last year, I'd had two friends lose all their digital images.   I wasn't into burning a million CDs (coz thats about how many pics I have) so I went in search of a small external hard drive which hooks to my computer via USB cable.    At Costco, I found the Passport  for just over $100.   Aptly named, the passport is almost exactly the same size as......a passport, of course!.........and came with its own little zip-up carrying case and USB cord.  

Easy to Use
The passport couldn't be any easier to use.   Simply plug it in, and Move or Copy files onto it:  it holds a jillion pics and documents.   I could almost say it's fun to use.   It's small enough, it fits in my camera bag or purse if I want to take it on the road with my computer and continue to transfer pics from my memory stick to my Passport each night.  

Their computer, Your files
The cool thing is, all of today's computers have USB ports, so the Passport is a way to take your home computer on the road without lugging it around.   Any hotel lobby computer will allow you to plug and play with your word files, excel, etc..........or view your pics. 

Price and Style
I was disappointed to later learn that my Passport (a rather ugly mauve) is the ugliest one ever made and now they come in shiny silver and jet black.  And I have seen them for less than I paid, by a good bit.  So much for wholesale clubs!  Oh well.   Life's not fair.  So you can pay less and have a better looking Passport than I do.  

Keep Your Commitment to Back Up
If your New Year's Resolution is to back up your files on a regular basis, get the Passport and you'll enjoy doing it.   I Promise!

The Bottom Line:   Libby Loves It!
