Already Dead2009-07-04
We plugged in our new WD passport, and time machine took over beautifully. However, we have a laptop and as such, it gets moved and bumped quite a lot. We tried to move the HD with the computer or take it out if we were moving it more often. As accidents do happen, the drive slipped out of the USB cable and we got a warning message. After trying to plug it in again and running disk utility, we got nothing. We plugged it into our PC and it says the drive doesn't have any capacity and won't recognize it. We'll call WD and see about a replacement. If data was lost during transfer when it got unplugged, that's understandable. However, frying the entire drive is rather frustrating. Thankfully, we didn't have anything on the drive we don't also have on the computer. We'll get another and maybe it will work better and we'll be more careful. Flukes do happen. It's a lot of storage for a little price, afterall.
Everything was perfect!2009-07-04

Failed after < 1 yr2009-07-03
I was initially so excited about the capacity and size of this device.
But it totally failed on me. Now my PC's don't recognize it, and it just makes a faint clicking sound. It's a paperweight now.
Excellent drive2009-07-02
I have installed this drive in my D-Link Router DIR-655 USB share port using a USB hub to have both the WD hard drive and my printer shared across my home network. It works perfectly, it is a lot faster than my old external drive.
amazing2009-07-02
One day my friend got a new hard drive for his MacBook and after installing it we had no way to get the data off his old drive. But after some quick thinking we decided to take my own 320 gb Western Digital Passport apart and stick in his old drive so that we could get the data off it. By taking it apart, we got a look at just how high the build quality is--The outer casing is purposefully built "bent" so that it snugs up against the middle section better. The hard drive is in a metal sled which is suspended in the center of the enclosure by rubber form fitting attachments. The whole thing just feels upliftingly sturdy and elegant and makes me feel very confident about the safety of my files. I give it a five out of five stars because it is clearly a fine piece of equipment.

Digital camera batteries
Batteries are vital for all photography and makiing sure that you have a spare set is essential if you intend to take alot of pictures. Print digital also recommend that when deciding upon a digital camera keep in mind what sort of batteries it takes. Does it take rechargeable batteries, are the batteries built and do you have to plug it into the mains, or does the camera only take standard batteries, if so then it can become exspensive if you are a keen photographer and use the camera alot. There are three types of rechargeable batteries: NiCD, NiMH and Lithium-Ion. Nickel Metal Hydride are the most popular rechargeable batteries at present. They hold more charge than their counter parts NiCD and don't suffer from memory effect. The one small down fall of these batteries is that they will loose a small amount of charge even if they are not being used, so be sure to check the batteries before using them. When you purchase a new digital camera make sure to ask what type of battery ...
Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
