WD My Passport Wireless SSD – Offload and Review Footage Without a Laptop
By Jim Bask
At this year’s CES, Western Digital have updated their previous My Passport Wireless Pro lineup of portable external storage devices to new SSD-equipped models. While WD My Passport Wireless SSD might be a slightly tongue-twisting name, the product itself seems to be very capable!
SSD is becoming mainstream in both ways: capacity and pricepoint. While conventional HDDs are still around of course, their more rugged and more lightweight solid state counterparts are becoming more and more affordable while continuously gaining capacity.

- SD Card Slot (USB 2.0) with one-touch copy button
- Built-In 802.11ac Wi-Fi Connectivity
- Up to 10 Hour Battery Life, can be used as a powerbank
- Up to 2.4A Power Output
- USB 3.0 interface (for external disks)

…This SSD is quite similar to the kickstarter-fueled GNARBOX…
