Western Digital announces My Passport SSD in 500GB and 1TB capacites
Amber Neely
Western Digital's palm-sized My Passport SSD offers fast transfer speeds with USB-C connectivity, in a portable package.
My Passport SSD boasts read speeds of 1050MB/s and write speeds of up to 1000MB/s. It features a USB 3.2 type-C port and includes a USB-C cable and a USB-A adapter for older devices. Use of the USB-A adapter will effectively cut drive speeds in half, though.
This SSD features shock and vibration resistance, and is drop resistant up to 6.5 feet. Users can protect their sensitive information thanks to its password enabled 256-bit AES hardware encryption.
If you're looking to pick one up, the My Passport SSD is available in gray in both 500GB ($119.99) and 1TB ($189.99) capacities.
The My Passport SSD will be available in additional colors and capacities later in 2020.

Will these work as an external drive for an iPad Pro?
