My Passport SSD is WD’s fastest portable drive ever

WD My Passport SSD

For ultimate performance, nothing beats an SSD drive. While common in desktops and portables, portable external drives have been mostly plate spinners. Until now. WD has just unleashes its fastest WD-branded portable drive yet–My Passport SSD. Take my money.

The new My Passport SSD features WD’s signature award-winning design and boasts blazing speeds as far as performance goes.

How fast? Up to 515MB/s! The superfast drive is designed for the latest computers with a USB Type-C port. It’s also USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10Gbps) ready with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable and an adapter (for use with USB Type-A).

The drive supports both PC and MAC, and it also offers 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection, for those concerned about data privacy.

It’s great looking and a scorcher, but that’s not all. It’s also built to withstand a 6.5-foot (2m) drops, with shock-resistance of up to 1500G of force.

How’s that for ultimate peace of mind?

The new drive is available in 1TB, 512GB and 256 capacities, and comes with WD Backup software.
