Western Digital WDXMS2500TN Passport 250 GB USB Portable Hard Drive Reviews
It works without any problem in my toshiba laptop. I made a very good choise selectin this portable hard drive.
Is an excelent device, fast, compact and very very portable, it really expands my laptop hard drive.
Well worth the money. It is easy to use and never runs out of space as I'm trying to back up my entire hard drive.
The graphic does show though a LAPTOP, not a desktop computer. When I got home, my drive was connected and now it was working properly. Problem fixed, but not thanx to Western Digital. To no avail.
I was stuck, so all I could do was trying WD online support. No disk was included with the unit. The look awesome. On regards to installation instructions there where to graphics. So. -Mass storage unit scanning. Total access, working like a dream. This time I don't even get the install hardware message from windows, just another message that tells me there's something there but the system doesn't know what it is and it probably won't work properly.
In the end I actually had to register to get access to the software, I guess because of the encryption included with the unit's apps (in the actual unit, which if in the first place you can't see on your system, then how the hell can you access the apps.). I bought this unit through the distributer my wife works with. As with any of these companies it was a trip with a lot of dead ends (you mostly get pages PROMOTING the product, even the ones that read on the link "support"). (WTF). I turned to my wife who was using her laptop at the time and when she conected it it came up perfectly on her system. I give this otherwise perfect product three stars. In the end I had to leave to an appointment I had feeling frustrated. So if that's the issue, and not everyone has the benefit of a laptop at hand.
All these require your unit to be visible by the system in order to work. One showing what's in the box (already mentioned) and another pointing out where to connect (DUH). I've connected my drive with a longer cable, since the one included requires the drive to sit on the CPU because of how short it is (about 12") It then connects properly and works fine. When I got home (to my desktop computer), exited to try it out. Almost a video ipod size.
Reading up on other customer's reviews I notice they mention the Y-USB cable a lot, a power boosting option for your drive. I'm going out now to get myself a Y-USB cable then. I turned away with a frown of stubbornness and returned to my search. The price seemed fair.
And some documentation that is mostly warranty and warnings. The software I could download. My Xp would tell me there was something connected to the USB port, but it didn't know what the hell it was. What she had done was that using our local wireless network she had taken the driver from the drive while it was connected to her laptop and transfered it to my desktop where then she proceeded to install the drive properly. -Encryption app. -Sync app. It probably all boils down to power. Shouldn't a power boosting cable be included with the unit in the first place.
And asked for a driver. Today I get to work and try connecting the drive to my two desktop computers. She handed it back to me with a look of "do you really know anything about this kind of stuff baby.". The size sleek. Just a VERY short USB cable. (read hard drives scanning). I knew my wife had something to do with it.
I have a large number of movies and and music, so i have two hard drives from western digital and i am loving it. What more can you ask for. Slick and stylish, easy to use and great price. The Western Digital portable hard drive is the best in the market right now. FIVE STARS.
