Review: Fast and Reliable Storage - The WD 1TB My Passport SSD is compact, durable, and delivers impressive transfer speeds—perfect for backing up files or on-the-go storage.
Review: Nice piece of kit, good support - I had been using a 2T hard drive from the same people but it is not portable, too big & heavy. I decided to go for the benefits of a small & neat SSD especially as I was buying a new PC which has an inbuilt SSD. I keep my old HD fully backed up but switched off. If I did get a wipe-out attach at least a have a "vault" copy. I tried to register the SSD online but it was not recognised. I contacted WD and they tried but failed to register it for me. A few days later they came back and said that they had proof it was a legitimate WD device and they registered it on their records for me. A load of firms would just wash their hands. Quite please with it all - except that the data cable is far too short & it sits too high on the PC. The bonus is that it now has good airflow, as SSD's can really heat up.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does a cable come with it?**
A: Yes it comes with a very short cable which will connect it to USB (the normal, rectangular kind). Also, know this isn’t the question but FWIW, I’m using it with my Mac PowerBook as a "Time machine" back up, but I had to format it with the disk utility first.

**Q: Could i use a wd usb-c cable with this?**
A: It appears the My Passport and the My Passport Ultra take you to the same Questions and Reviews. Amazon seem to do this a lot and need to fix it. The Ultra supports USB-C (and seems to be more expensive). Check before you click to buy. One last thing, it's not worth paying more for the Mac versions, though you may need to reformat.

**Q: I've a pc and a mac...can i format it in 2 partitions ? one mac formatted and another windows pc formatted ?**
A: This should be possible, though if you want to use the drive with both mac and windows devices you would be better off formatting the partition in exFAT format, which allows both OSX and Windows read and write access.  Of course, this is best done when the drive is new and has no data on it, otherwise you would lose data stored on the device!

**Q: Just took delivery of this for my mac running catalina.. can't import my files(images) from icloud because it keeps asking for social media**
A: It will auto back up all your files on your Mac if you connect to Time Machine, are your files in iCloud different from those on your Mac?

I had been using a 2T hard drive from the same people but it is not portable, too big & heavy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but a little overpriced
*by T***B on 5 September 2024*

Nice little USB drive, works fine and transfer rates seem entirely reasonable within a few ticks of the advertised speeds. Physically quite attractive in nice red finish I selected. Could have done with a better/longer cable, and you are paying a little extra for the Western Digital brand name.
