Spec & FeatureĪccording to several people, although not confirmed, inside this drive is a derivative of the WD SN550 M.2 SSD, and as this was designed for NVMe connection, the performance difference between this and SATA based designs should be significant. The minimalist ethos of the outside doesn’t continue internally, thankfully, as that part is far away from the technology that this unit replaces.

There is no LED to indicate activity, and no pouch to hold the drive and cable for transportation. However, the cable part is remarkably short at just 10cm, making it fine for laptop users with immediate desk space but unsuitable for desktop computer users with rear-mounted ports. There is only one cable included, but an adapter is included to enable the drive to connect to the older Type-A USB port and the more modern Type-C variety.

The upside of that engineering decision is that this is one of the lightest portable SSDs we’ve ever tested at only 45.7 grams, not including the cable. The new model might be metal skinned, it is hard to tell, but the outside is thin and almost indistinguishable from painted plastic. Its predecessor had a stylish metal half for the wavy motif that felt cool to the touch. Historically, Western Digital has sold boatloads of My Passport drives, so will the buying public be as enthusiastic about this one as they’ve been for other models?

The transfer speeds are great and you can use the drive with both Mac and PC. This WD My Passport 4TB review has probably shown you how the 256-bit AES hardware encryption, USB 3.0 interface, and the slim design make this hard drive a great buy.

If 4TB is not enough storage, then you should check out the Seagate STGY80000 External Hard Drive that offers 8TB of storage space. The hard drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and comes with SuperSpeed USB cable. However, the random write and read speeds will be slower depending on file, interface, and other factors.
