That's better than the drives we tested last year and likely to be due to the higher platter density which allows more bytes to be crammed in per unit volume/area. The drive performed quite well on CrystalDiskMark, hitting 121.9MBps and 120.9MBps in read and write respectively. It's worth noting that the average drive read time stands at 8.5ms. It consumes an average of 2W in read/write mode and 0.7W when idle. The WD30NPRZ runs at 5,400RPM and is equipped with 64MB cache. The My Passport Wireless Pro uses a 15mm tall, 2.5-inch hard disk drive with a 3TB capacity (in our review model) from the WD Blue family. The drive came with a 12.24W (5.1V/2.4A) power supply unit and interchangeable plugs for UK, EU and US markets. In that mode, the lights on top will indicate how far the copy/move process has got to go. Long press the SD card button and the contents of your SD card will be automatically copied or moved – depending on how the button is configured – to the hard disk drive. There's also a removable sticker with the SSID and default password of the device.įlip it over and on the underside you'll find four rubber feet as well as another sticker with more details about the My Passport Wireless Pro – including the serial number and the MAC address.Īn SD card slot is located on one side and two square buttons – one for power and the other one for accessing the SD card – are located on the other, alongside a flat USB 3.0 connector and a standard USB 2.0 host port. On top there's the WD logo and six status lights: four to indicate the battery capacity, one for the Wi-Fi status and one to indicate whether the drive is spinning. The drive is made of anthracite-coloured ABS plastic with plenty of rounded corners, and it feels solid.

Think about it – it's about the same size as a DVD disk with dimensions of 125 x 125 x 22mm, and it weighs 450g. The My Passport Wireless Pro reminded us of an external DVD player or the Voyo V3 mini PC. Western Digital My Passport Wireless Pro at Dell for $65.99.
