Western Digital Introduced New External Hard Drive
My Passport Wireless Pro – Newest WD External Hard Drive
Good news for photographers, who are always happy to make backups, especially while on the go. The Western Digital (WD) has released new drive called My Passport Wireless Pro, which is an update of older model My Passport Wireless which was launched back in 2014.
Besides the updated design major changes are around file management, which is much more natural this time. Unlike the first model who automatically pulled all new photos from SD card, with the new Wireless Pro, you can wirelessly browse and choose which files you want to sync.
Like the previous My Passport Wireless model, the new version has an SD card slot and Wi-Fi. You can import photos to the drive via Wi-Fi, once the images are on the drive, you can wirelessly connect to it with a laptop or tablet. After connecting to the drive, you can easily view and manage all data that’s have been backed up on Wireless Pro.
Much faster and with twice as big battery
Wireless Pro has a faster SD card slot with significantly increased file transfer rates from 10Mb/s up to 75Mb/s. Western Digital also improved 802.11ac Wi-Fi speeds from 9Mb/s up to 20Mb/s. The old 3400mAh battery is now replaced with twice as big 6400mAh battery, which as Western Digital (WD) states can last up to 11.5 hours, including 6-8 hours of hard usage.

New My Passport Wireless Pro comes only as HDD (not SSD), with larger capacity: a 2TB and 3TB (old model wireless external hard drive is available in 1TB and 2TB of storage).
