WD My Passport SSD review: 7 years in, super-lightweight SSD is still class

A red WD My Passport SSD.

Western Digital (WD) has long been a trusted name in the world of portable storage solutions. Most people reading this review will likely have once owned at least one device made by WD, either stuffed full of school or university work, crammed with backups of photos of loved ones or simply acting as an extension to your internal hard drive to store music, films and other documents.

For decades now, there’s no denying the attraction of an external hard drive to extend your storage capability. Western Digital has been at the forefront of this, largely thanks to their reliability, durability and portable designs that have become a byword for safe, reliable and fuss-free storage extension. In this review, we’ll be taking a look at the new WD My Passport SSD, an updated incarnation of their original portable SSD many of us are still using that was released back in 2017, and still sets the benchmark for among the best out there.
