Short Review: WD My Passport Elite

.
My latest addition: WD My Passport Elite

So far, I’ve tried Maxtor, Seagate and also Fujitsu.

Til date, the worst HDD I ever experienced is Seagate. Failed to withstand 24 hours non-stop downloading and died on me in 1 year time. And the warranty claiming was another torturing moment as I need to courier it to Singapore from KL, simply because Malaysia’s branch is unhelpful based on other forumers’ experiences.

In fact, this is my first try on Western Digital.

Pros
5 years warranty instead of 3 like others.
Simple to use.
USB powered.
Low noise.
Lighting response on warranty issue from WD team, bravo!

Cons
The HDD is formatted to FAT32, which means no single file larger 4gb is allowed. There goes all dvd images…… sob sob sob

Price a little bit on the high side

Soft pouch is given unlike the leather ones for normal passport.

Buffalo brand. Made in japan. The shop vendor claimed that this brand is more rugged compared to others worr.. just give it a try anyway, 160GB :)
Now, 70% of the harddisk are full of porn movies, courtesy from AGK Lim.
