WD Security lets users add password protection (supported by the hardware encryption).
Ranging from 500GB up to 4TB, the WD My Passport SSDs come in a variety of capacities, and they all are rated to deliver up to 1,050/1,000 MBps of read/write performance under sequential workloads.
Measuring 100 x 55 x 9 mm and weighing in at under 54 grams, WD’s My Passport SSD is sleek, slim, and can easily slip into a pocket. WD supplies the My Passport SSD with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. There’s also a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter which means that the drive is backwards compatible with older connections.
WD also provides the company’s Discovery software to manage the My Passport SSD and enables downloading a few other apps. WD Security and WD Backup software manage the SSD’s password protection and configure backup tasks on both macOS and Windows-based computers. The WD My Passport SSDs come formatted as exFAT for compatibility with both macOS and Windows-based computers and support S.M.A.R.T. data reporting. When formatted as NTFS, the My Passport SSDs support TRIM.
