A folder with over 10GB of images from the Nikon Z7 II, for example, copied from my iMac desktop to the drive in under 24 seconds. That speed is also impressive when you’re transferring images.
I was able to watch stutter-free footage. And sure enough, I’ve used it to house 4K video from the likes of the Sony A7S III and Nikon Z7 II while I edit it and it’s not missed a beat. With read and write speeds of up to 1050MB/s and 1000MB/s, the WD My Passport SSD should be capable of acting as a working drive when editing video. Mine has taken a fall from my desk a couple of times and it’s not showing any signs of wear.
Although the WD My Passport SSD is very light and the casing feels thin, it’s reassuring to know that the outer skin is made from metal.Īs there are no moving parts, SSD memory is more stable than hard drive storage and WD states that the My Passport SSD can withstand a drop from 1.98m or 6.5 feet.
