Western Digital WDXMS1200TN
120 GB Passport USB 2.0 Hard Drive

I was looking for something to securely backup data from my laptop. I had been using a USB drive, which was 1 GB, and it worked fine but it was only 1 GB. I found this 120GB Passport USB Drive from Western Digital.

This little USB Harddrive is a great deal for the price and if you are looking for something with a little more storage (or maybe even a little less) there are others available. The 120GB was just what I needed and the price was right.

One of the things I like most about it is that it give me the ability to work on documents on the drive on another computer and then sync them up on my laptop. I don’t have to lug my laptop everywhere (even though I usually do).

One draw back is the encryption and syncronization software (WD Sync) that comes preinstalled on the drive only works with Windows.

The drive is USB powered so there is no power supply or special power cable to deal with and it comes with a USB cable.

I liked the one that I was using on my laptop so much I bought a second one to hang off my server to just drop things onto for safe keeping.
