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.

Comments about Western Digital 750GB My Passport Essential SE Portable Hard Drive (Black):
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.
