Comments about Western Digital 500GB My Passport USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive (Red):
I needed to dump a lot of video and pictures off of my laptop. This gave me a good value for the price. I did price checking and B&H was the cheapest even with shipping. I had a little bit of trouble with the password. That was a bit frustrating and it also dumps a lot of icons and software on your machine. It was worth the money though.
