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. ## Features - Blazing fast NVMe technology with speeds of up to 1050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s - Password enabled 256-bit AES hardware encryption - Shock and vibration resistant.

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? ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fast and Reliable Storage *by R***R on 20 September 2025* The WD 1TB My Passport SSD is compact, durable, and delivers impressive transfer speeds—perfect for backing up files or on-the-go storage. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice piece of kit, good support *by S***N on 19 March 2022* 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.

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. ## Frequently Bought Together - Western Digital 4TB My Passport SSD External Portable Solid State Drive, Grey, Up to 1,050 MB/s, USB 3.2 Gen-2 and USB-C Compatible (USB-A for older systems) – WDBAGF0040BGY-WESN - Lacdo Hard Carrying Case for WD My Passport SSD External Portable Drive 500GB 1TB 2TB 4TB External Solid State Drive EVA Shockproof Water Repellent Protective Storage Travel Bag, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/309538254-4tb-my-passport-portable-ssd-external-nvme-solid-state-drive](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/309538254-4tb-my-passport-portable-ssd-external-nvme-solid-state-drive) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
