The other dual-textured My Passport and My Book drives are at least a single color, and we wish the SSD were available in all matte black or all silver, instead of a slice of both. Also, the drive gets quite smudgy with just minimal handling.īeauty is subjective, though, so we're not taking any points away just saying that it looks a bit quirky to us, as if WD couldn't decide which design to use, so it used two. The "black turtleneck" side is a marked contrast to the striped gunmetal/silver one, and by nature might only half-match any given host system it is plugged into. (See our review of the WD My Book 8TB.) Though the look is sophisticated, our take is that some folks will like the two-texture, dual-tone design, while others may be strongly put off by it. It's part of the company's new design that it has rolled out across its My Passport hard drives and My Book desktop external drives. The My Passport SSD looks different from drives of yesteryear we've seen from WD. (You also get an adapter for use with ordinary Type-A USB ports.) If you're already tingling with excitement and want to run out and get one, you had better head to a Best Buy, as that's the only reseller that will be selling them, both in its physical stores and online.
DIGIME RIP OFF SOFTWARE
This "flashy" new drive (pardon the pun) offers unique styling, a reasonable price at each capacity, a useful software suite, and a USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface with a Type-C connector, for transfer speeds as fast those of as an internal SATA SSD. Given WD's acquisition of SanDisk and that company's strong position in flash memory and SSDs, external SSDs are a natural progression. This is the company's first external SSD and is available in 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB capacities.
DIGIME RIP OFF PORTABLE
The My Passport SSD ($399 MSRP in the model tested) follows on in branding from the company's platter-based My Passport portable hard drives. (Opens in a new window) Read Our Gnarbox Review The WD My Passport SSD is the latest to hit our test bench. Now that prices on internal SSDs have gotten a lot more competitive while capacities have gone up, we're starting to see more external SSDs at palatable prices. That's due to SSDs' high cost per gigabyte and thus necessarily low capacity-although the trend is moving in a more favorable direction. That makes them the ideal containers for data inside mobile devices so does their ruggedness and their ability to withstand punishment.ĭespite all these advantages, when it comes to external storage, the mobile-storage world is still largely populated by spinning disks. By their flash-memory nature, they have no moving parts, and under most circumstances emit very little heat.

We certainly love them in our desktop PCs, but they are making just as big an impact in the mobile world. Solid state drives (SSDs) have been stomping a giant footprint onto the storage world over the past few years-a size 14 EEE boot worn by some tiny, tiny chips.
