I have a Drobo raid and I have been upgrading old drives and expanding as needed and these have been my go to drives.  Lots of data, fast, and great quality.  Never had one fail.

I hope this one lasts longer than the last one. It failed and took with it all my photos for over a year.
A lot of storage space for not much money

This is useless. What good is unlimited photo storage if you can't Sync a folder. I guess I'll stick to Dropbox.

I am a professional photographer and use several of these for various categories of my business and for backup.  For each category I am backing up, silver is the main drive and I back that up to a black drive daily.  Every week I backup to a red drive that goes to a fireproof safe.  Where as it would be easy to get mixed up just using labeled drives. the colors make it obvious which back up is which.  I use a laptop computer rather than a desktop and the size of these drives make them very easy to take along.  I put them in the Amazon cases designed for these drives.

Good Price, easy installation, No Software (Use ImgBurn), great price, and it is nice to use only one BL disc to store and backup all the images that we have on the PC. Digital pictures add up so fast on a hard drive. Plus I have space to grow. Two BL for a complete 50GB system backup using Acronis True Image. Well worth it.

When I work on someones computer and see they have a lot of family photos, I MAKE them get on of these. People who don't back up are insane.

I've had people come to me with nearly dead hard drives, telling me they have the only pictures of loved ones who've passed away stored on those drives. I've been lucky to recover some, but when I can't get their photo's back it's depressing. I try to warn people, but.....

These WD Passports are great. I size them at about 4x the space people are using in their system. I use Windows  Back-up  and also manually copy over the Users Documents, Pictures, Videos, Music and Desktop folders before I do any work on the systems. Just in case.

People usually don't worry until it's too late, but me knowing I got the important stuff backed up lets me breathe again.

I use these for backups and I find them amazing (got over 5 of them). If you use it regularly or need a faster USB flash device, then buy something else.

Meh. You could take an old thick sock, cut off the last five inches and use that to cover your camera's lens too. The best answer? Unplug the camera. Then you could also put the camera into the sock for storage.

OK, from what I've read, you're going to be better off with the Seagate FreeAgent Xtreme.  Why?  Because from the research I've done, the backup software that comes with the Western Digital My Book Home Edition is only a 30 day trial version.  I had a hard time finding thorough reviews of the latest hard drives (October 1, 2008).  The Western Digital and Seagate models I've mentioned are pretty equally ranked.  However, what sold me on the Seagate FreeAgent Extreme is that it has built-in software (not trial software) for backing up your data.  That means no additional expense for the software.  The reviews from various sources like PCworld.com, cnet.com, bit-tech.net, consumersearch.com, had good things to say about both the Western Digital and the Seagate hard drives that I've mentioned.

This obviously isn't a full review of this hard drive -I'm no computer guru, but the software package is very important to me and I thought this little bit of information might be helpful to someone else too.

The Sandisk 32GB card has been a reliable solid state back-up solution for me for critical files on my laptop.  I use it with an Apple MacBook Air (A1466), which has an SSD, but I copy critical files to this card as a physical backup and for portability.  I use a number of cloud services (OneDrive, Google Drive, Amazon Glacier) to back up files to the cloud, but with a local physical backup I know that I'll never be without critical work documents, and if I do have a hard drive failure, restoring lost files will take seconds and not be dependent on a network connection.  Very reliable piece of memory.

The 250 MB Zip drive is a nice product and fills an important need.  But I'm replacing one that died after about 3 years.  I think they should last longer than that!

The drive makes backing up work very simple and I wouldn't dare work without one, or a similar product.

I went digital last year but never had a true backup mechanism until now. The Epson provides a generous 80GB of space and a decent size LCD to view pics. Still figuring out all the options but generally it's easy to get started. Would recommend it particularly for longer travels / photo ops.

I really like the video/ audio of this product.  I purchased a camera case that fits all of the camera equipment together. I would have liked a case that fit everything in it,not just a case for the camera since you need more items to use it like I want to.

I think this storage media will work properly if the device you are using also has the speed to appreciate it. Its so happens that my point & shoot digital camera shutter is not that fast enough.

Nikon  D3200,  they work for me, what more can I say. Nice having backups.

I love this product because it works.  I am able to hold all cherished photos, music, and videos.  I would recommend this product to anyone.

I just bought one from local CompUSA store. After I loaded my photos and videos from Alaska trip, it died on me, giving constant cranking sounds. I am just hoping that I can recover my photos from it or I will be dead!
