Mine is a 250 gb. I wonder if the larger ones won't work?

Hi Rich,

I have a 120 GB drive that will work with my laptop and my Braillenote but
not with my braille plus.

I have successfully used a Western Digital Passport drive to copy music to
my Icon.  It is a drive that is several years old, it works with the Icon,
the Pac Mate, and the Braille Note.  It is an 80 GB drive.

May the problem of incompatibility also have to do with file format on the
drive?  Isuspect that if NTFS is used on an external drive,  BP and ICON may
not be able to access it.

[icon-discuss] Anyone Successfully Using Western Digital Passport Drive?

 

                




Hi all. I searched the list archives and saw several messages earlier this
month and in 
September, 2007 about people using, or struggling to use, the Western
Digital Passport 
drives with the Icon and Braille+. I'm thinking of buying one of these
drives, but want to know 
whether I can expect it to work with the Braille+. If you've had problems
with this hardware 
combination, did those problems persist when the Braille+ was connected to
AC power? What did 
you end up using for an external storage solution if you abandoned the
Passport due to it 
being unusable with the Braille+? Thanks in advance!

Jeremiah
