WD My Passport Spec and Price in the United States
My Passport is WD's polished portable line: a 2.5-inch drive with USB 3.0, hardware AES-256 encryption via WD Security software, and a three-year warranty, per the WD product overview. Over the Elements Portable it adds the encryption, a five-color design, and WD Backup software — the price premium is mostly the software bundle and warranty. It is the default pick when the backup drive will travel and the extra year of warranty matters.

What owners and reviewers say
Summarised from 1 source(s), reviewed September 13, 2026. A source is counted only where it names this model exactly. How we track prices
Commonly praised
- Uses the same reliable hardware as earlier versions, with seamless backup software.
- Password protection with hardware encryption, available in a range of colour options.
Commonly criticised
- Performance did not improve over the previous version, which was largely a visual refresh.
- The glossy surface smudges easily, and it is nowhere near solid-state speeds for large files.
