I bought this as a replacement for my previous Omron HJ-112, which I had been using for about 2 years (I accidentally ran it through the washing machine – it is not waterproof, in case you were wondering). I ADORE this pedometer – it can go in my pocket, so it does not have to clip to (and fall off) my waistband, and so people don’t ask you about it constantly. The 7 days of memory is great for tracking, and it does not count false steps when I am in a vehicle. I find the distance (you have to enter your stride length, but that is easy) and calorie counts are accurate. I have never had any problems, and if this one breaks I will buy another.

Pro: Only the Small Physical Size
Con: No Drag-and-Drop, Drive is write protected, for System Back-up Only

I purchased this WD Passport Essential (500gb) external hard drive as mobile device to be utilized to archive data and documents. Upon first use of the drive I immediately realized that the drive is intended as a `back-up’ drive only, as it does not allow the capability to create folders on it, and also does not allow for drag-and-drop of files and data. The drive is write protected (acts like a CDRW), and the only way you can utilize it is to use the provided software, which again is geared for backing up you system only.

I additionally and immediately had significant issues with the drive maintaining a connection with the supplier USB cord – the design of the cord connections is obviously flawed.

I do not recommend this drive, and I immediately returned it the next day after purchasing, in favor of the Toshiba portable drive which of course allows for drag-and-drop, folder control (and was a little cheaper), and being utilized as an actual additional drive.
