Only had the drive about 2 weeks but it's worked well so far.
Had to format it so be usable with Macs and PCs but otherwise no complaints.

Comments about Western Digital 750GB My Passport Essential SE Portable Hard Drive (Black):
Can't believe that 750Gb is this price. Buying a new laptop often means buying a new backup drive - at this price, not a problem.
Easy to use.
Could it be better? well, 2Tb for same size and price? watch this space - I remember paying $350 for a 40Mb hard drive.
Otherwise, a no brainer.

I needed this for data backup. I originally purchased a WD 1TB external drive that I had to promptly return because it took 2 days to transfer 300 GBs of data and then it stopped working. I was able to transfer the same amount of data in about *an hour* using this 750GB drive. I was amazed. This is my second passport drive; the first one was just as awesome.
I highly recommend it.
