Conclusion:
The Western Digital My Passport Elite 320GB is an excellent portable drive, it’s stylish, available in a range of colours (currently only Titanium and Bronze, black and red coming soon), and for basic operation it’s is as easy to use as any other USB drive on the market, real plug and play.
It is slightly more expensive than it’s “Essential” counterpart, however if you make use of the included backup software and MioNet remote access software, then $20 more is not a whole lot extra for the added functionality. Both the Elite and Essential range come with a 5 Year warranty for piece of mind.
Be aware that some computers may require a USB cable with an additional USB connector to draw extra power for the drive, this type of cable is often included with external USB drives and cases, but not so with this drive. With that in mind it still worked just fine on a single port on my LG notebook, but it’s just something to keep in mind.
Overall a great drive that I would highly recommend, and if you don’t need the additional software included, you can save yourself $20 and buy basically the same drive in the Western Digital Passport Essential range.
OzHardware Rating – 9.5/10 – Excellent!
