 RE: Huge disappointment, 2009-10-28

October 27, 2009 I pre-ordered my WD Passport like 3 weeks in advance. When I first opened it, I was excited: slick design, smaller than my previous WDPassport, and ... it packed the whole 1TB. As I started using it I became more and more disappointed for 2 reasons:
1. software, I didn't really tried to erase it, but as I noticed from the reviews it's impossible. Without the software was so much easier.
2. USB connection: I'm afraid to move my notebook or the Passport itself: slightest move and you get disconnected, have to start all over again with the software. I was thinking of duct-taping the USB to the disk :-)
Conclusion: don't buy, wait until WD comes up with sth new.

Updating my review
May 10, 2010: Glad to share the news: WD offers the USB cable replacement free of charge. I recently received mine (in less than a week) and it fits perfectly. Now I can surely say that I'll continue using the WD products.
