Western Digital Passport portable drive hits 320GB {Engadget}

Dec 12th 2007 8:02PM I have one of these and it mounted fine for a while then stopped. I couldn't figure out why. Turns out it was upside down. Yep. That's right. Upside down.

Of course, it's a perfectly symmetrical black box, so I'm not entirely surprised I'd put it down upside down...but I AM surprised it wouldn't work that way...

I was on tech support when I noticed it...and the guy actually said, "Yes, if it's upside down it won't mount."

So there you have it.
