Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Ultimate Portable SSD Drive? WD My Passport SSD”.
Hey, what’s up folks on this watch hope you guys are all doing well and today we’re going to be talking about portable ssd storage. Now in the past, if you wanted a high capacity external hard drive, you had to go with a mechanical one which is slow. Clunky and sometimes requires an external power source now, thankfully, these days, the pricing of ssd external drives is becoming more and more competitive, and thanks to stuff like this, the wd, my passport drive, you can get capacities up to two terabytes with something that’s about half the Size of your average day smartphone. Furthermore, since we’re looking at an nvme drive, you’re looking at read and write speeds over a thousand megabytes, a second and it interfaces and is powered through one connection. Usbc in the box, you’ll also find a cross-compatible usb 3.2 gen, 2 type, a connection which you can use to connect the drive to virtually any type of computer that uses a standard usb connection.
Of course, as usbc becomes more and more ubiquitous across all devices out there, i’m actually using this drive for backing up, as well as expanding my storage on the new ipad air which works flawlessly with this drive, as well as expanding the storage. On my note, 20. Ultra and i can go back and forth between all different types of machines, running on different operating systems and as long as i have the drive formatted correctly i’ll avoid running into any compatibility issues. For most of the time, i have the drive formatted in fat32, which allows for relatively fast transfer speeds and is highly compatible across all different operating systems. Now, on the top portion of the drive, we actually have a metal cover that comes in four different color combinations, including this gray metallic finish as well as gold, red and blue, and since there’s no moving parts like a traditional mechanical drive, it’s also fairly resistant to Shock and vibration and you can drop it up to six and a half feet without any major damage to your storage inside. Furthermore, if you’re going to be storing some confidential or sensitive information, you can password protect the drive using an aes hardware, encryption beyond that. Wd supplies a five years, manufacturer’s warranty and overall, if you’re, looking for a fast, portable, expandable storage solutions for really anything out there, whether it be your smartphone pc, laptop tablet, i think this is probably one of the portable ssds. You definitely want to take a serious look at take a look at the description down below where you find more details about updated pricing about all the different capacities which, by the way, are 500 one terabyte that we have over here and two terabyte configuration.
