The My Passport Wireless comes with a standard 2-year warranty. The transfer and erasing process worked quickly and reliably in our testing.
You will, of course, have to be careful if you have both settings on automatic, since it will end the process by erasing the card every time. You can also set the drive to automatically erase the card after each download, which speeds things even more. The latter is very handy if you have several cards to process at once. You can either download files on demand via the app, which is the default, or set the drive to automatically download anything from an inserted card. The SD card reader lets you download and back up any card you pop in the slot.

Then again, the Corsair Voyager Air, the LaCie Fuel, and the Seagate Wireless Plus also have Internet pass-through. Both home network and hotspot modes allow devices connected to the My Passport Wireless to access the Internet. The home network mode opens the drive up to your home Wi-Fi network so you can watch the videos from the drive on a DLNA-compatible HDTV on your home's Wi-Fi network, for example. Note that the hotspot setup only uses the external hotspot for access to the Internet.

Once you've set up the network, you can attach the drive to a public or portable Wi-Fi hotspot, or to your home network. The Seagate Media app compatible with the LaCie Fuel and Seagate Wireless Plus has a Kindle version. One notable omission is that the Kindle version of the WD My Cloud app hasn't been updated to connect to the My Passport Wireless. Because there's no My Cloud app for Windows or Macs, you can connect laptops and access the media through the drive's built-in Web server as well. Firmware updates are also handled through the app.

The network that the My Passport Wireless creates is initially designed to be a one-to-one direct connection with a smartphone or tablet, but once you've gone through the setup process, you can connect up to eight devices at a time, including laptops, phones, and tablets. Most portable media drive competitors like the Corsair Voyager Air ( at Amazon), the LaCie Fuel ( at Amazon), and the Seagate Wireless Plus ($148.00 at Walmart) lack WPS.

You can use the drive's bundled USB charger and USB cable with other smart devices. It fits the same design ID as drives like the Western Digital My Passport Studio (1TB), but adds a Power button and a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button instead of the FireWire ports found on the Studio drive. There's also a single USB 3.0 Micro-B port for transferring files to and from your Mac or PC, or for recharging the drive's internal battery. True to its name, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi is the primary way to connect to the drive. The chassis has a metal ring shell bisecting the black top and bottom panels. It's a good travel companion for your family, and has a handy SD card slot for uploading photos and videos from cameras and other devices, but there are some features you get in other wireless drives that you may miss here.ĭesign and Features The My Passport Wireless ($99.00 at Amazon) measures about 0.96 by 3.5 by 5 inches (HWD), and weighs just north of 8 ounces. The Western Digital My Passport Wireless ($179.99) looks just like a traditional portable hard drive, but it's actually a portable wireless media drive that stores 1TB of music, photos, videos, and any other document you'd like to carry around with you.
