Turbo feature not as fast as advertised; no eSATA option available.
Despite its claims to faster connection speeds with Turbo offerings, the scores for the My Passport Studio 500GB were only average compared to competing three-port drives. For users looking for a compact drive with a lot of storage and don’t care ab...
While it certainly won’t matter to a lot of people out there, the My Passport Studio does look rather attractive. I mean, less isn’t more when it comes to hard drive space but it is in terms of design. Other than perhaps LaCie, not too many manufact...

For $140, the drive is priced well... For a Mac product. It is a notebook type hard drive so it uses the power off of the USB drive as long as you use the included cable. If you have a Mac, this drive is ready out of the box for you and includes Firewi...
