Hi All.
I was about to buy WD passport 500G when I noticed that they released a new edition and accordingly to the majority of the reviews on Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Dig...UTF8&coliid=IB0KY4X6GVPDS&colid=28X05OBN6PF4K
it is a disaster. They built s/w into HD's ROM, so you cannot get rid of it by formatting HD (it is loading a virtual cd-rom every time you plug the HD in. Just like Scan u3 usb stick, although I think you can get red of this one (didn't try it b/c I like it)). Also it has nonstandard small USB connector/cable.
So, I will have to buy either previous edition while stock lasts or I found another HD that looks OK but I don't know anything about it.

Do you know anything about this Samsung HD? I found more or less good review on Tom's h/w but I would like to hear from "real" people
