WD My Passport SSD 1TB Review

The WD My Passport SSD comes in a smart orange and white finished box with an image on the drive on the front together with the drive's capacity and performance.

The rear of the box has some multilingual marketing data about the drive along with a list of what’s in the box and the drive's compatibility.

 

One side panel has icons representing the My Passport shock resistance, password protection support, backup and the fact it has a 5-year warranty. The other side panel has an icon displaying the fact that the drive has 256-bit hardware encryption.

 

The pocket-sized My Passport SSD is small enough to fit in the palm of the hand. It has an anodised aluminium top cover and has been designed to survive drops of up to 1.98m and although Grey is the only colour available at the time of writing, Blue, Gold and Red versions should be available soon.

Bundled in with the drive is a USB-C cable together with a useful USB Type-C to Type-A adapter and a quick install guide.


Pre-installed on the drive is the latest version of WD’s Discovery software. This gives you access to the WD Drive Utilities app as well as options to install WD’s Security and Backup Utilities.
