Title: Drive died in 48 hours.
Product review: I managed to buy a Passport 160GB for my laptop bag and a MyBook 400GB Essential for my home network. I managed to turn both of them into an expensive paperweight in two days. I loaded about 160GB of data to take to work on my MyBook and got to work, and it died after 10GB of offload transfer. Thinking the drive just failed, I then turned to the Passport to pickup the slack, and that then died two after 10GB of data. Whats crazy is they both have the same error message from WD Diagnostics software: Failed read test element. Now the drive is throwing up bad sectors and such and will require an RMA. I eventually just brought the desktop to work. Pass on this drive.
