Western Digital Passport | 5 x 3 inch Compact and Portable External Hard Drive

Western Digital Passport For most people who use a Notebook a portable hard drive is a must because of the relatively small amounts of data that can be stored on a Notebook because of its compact nature.
Because of a Notebooks compact nature, owners usually want all their equipment portable and compact as well, this is where Western Digital come in with their passport external hard drive range.

My problem with most External Hard drives is the size, as I’m always on the go and need to carry round my data. Space being the thing that isn’t in great supply in my laptop bag, was the aspect that I found most appealing when looking at the Passport series. The hard drive is only 5 x 3 inches so can fit in my pocket quite comfortably meaning I have more space in my laptop bag.

If you have one of the metal ipods and know how easy shiny metal surface scratches you will unfortunately be able to share the same experience with the Passport hard drive. The scratching is less noticeable on the hard drive though because the surface is black and not silver like the ipod. After a couple of weeks of use and thousands of tiny scratches I don’t think it makes the hard drive any less appealing and in a funny sort of way I would say it made it more appealing.

As you would expect with modern portable external hard drives, the passport is powered through the USB port so there is no extra power supply needed, although this feature doesn’t work with older notebooks so they have supplied a power cord just encase.
