Western Digital WDMT3200TN Review
Western Digital WDMT3200TN Review by sputnik (Duncanville TX)
I bought this drive to be an away-from-home backup of my MacBook Pro. After receiving it, I created two partitions - the first was a bootable clone of my Mac's internal drive (to be used in case of a failure of the Mac drive) and the second for immediate backup of documents, photos, data from the Mac and a G-Drive mini.
The Passport Studio boots just fine from its USB connection. But it does NOT boot via firewire UNLESS the unit is disconnected prior to starting the computer, connecting it only after the computer is turned on, prior to pressing the "Option" key. Once booted, operating the computer from the Passport is fast and flawless. It would be nice if it boots normally from firewire - I would have given it 5 stars. Hopefully, I will never need it to do so, but at least I can trick it into doing so if I had to.
Western Digital WDMT3200TN Review by Travis B. Stevens "-Travisimo" (Knoxville, TN)
I'm a digital artist responsible for photography, high definition motion graphics and overall general graphic design, print and web. I got my passport for Christmas this year and I couldn't be happier.
Firstly, My main machine is a MacBook Pro laptop. My work computer is a Mac Pro and 99% of the computers I work on in my industry are Macs. So this review is from a Mac Users perspective. Windows users beware (apparently this drive will require a reformat.)
I had read a bunch of reviews talking about the difficulty of the short thick fw800 cable and I have got to say they're unfounded. Sure it's thick, no lie there. But it's completely manageable. The package also comes with a USB cable and a FW400 cable for ultimate compatibility (which is Ideal for a freelancer who is constantly working on many types of machines.) And the best of all IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A POWER SUPPLY!!!
For what it's worth i found the drive to be physically appealing and very small & light weight. Compared to a GTECH 500GB GDrive. It comes with a pretty slick carrying bag (to hold the extra cables as well as the drive.)
The drive comes with about 280~ mb of drivers and Documentation in every possible language on it (install-delete imo) After that i did some basic workhorse transfers on them. I moved my entire 36 gig Aperture Library and my 45 gig iTunes library on the drive and it was finished by the time i went in to check on the progress the first time. I was planning on checking on it at least 3 or 4 times. That was a nice surprise.
All in all this drive deserves 5 Stars easily. What this drive doesn't deliver in affordability It easily makes it up in literally every other aspect of it. (I wouldn't knock off a star off any other FAT formatted external for having to reformat it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) so i don't think the previous 4 star rating was deserved.)
Now, because i hate reading reviews that are all praises and no criticism and as much as i hate to try and find anything wrong with this product I guess i would say they default "turbo" icon after installed those drivers is pretty ugly and something i changes immediately.
Western Digital WDMT3200TN Review by Okonomi (California)
I have used this drive with USB for almost a year and think it is generally terrific. However, with Firewire it worked only once or twice and now does not work at all - both the 400 and 800 ports. I have tried it on 5 Macs (including 2 at the Apple Genius Bar) using both Leopard and Snow Leopard and it won't connect with Firewire. WD replaced the drive and I got the same result - would not mount on any computer with any FW port. WD replaced the drive a second time, and I got the same result. It's just plain unreliable for FW.
