 Western Digital My Passport Essential 160 GB USB 2 January 9, 2009
I could not figure out how to get this device to work. It kept freezing up with partial page views visible. When the device was frozen, my computer ran very slow. I left it running over night and in the morning it was still frozen. I also had difficulty getting the device to stop. The "Safely Remove Hardware" icon also seemed to be frozen. Very frustrating.

So Good So Far January 7, 2009
So good so far.... I haven't used this one much yet but I have another WD hard drive that I've been using for a few years now with no complaints. The other drive is the same as this one just a smaller capacity. I bought the 320 to replace my Seagate 320 that crashed after less than a year of ownership.... POS! I've talked to several people who have had the same problem with Seagate hard drives.
