WD has unveiled the My Passport Wireless, a Wi-Fi enabled storage drive that allows consumers to save, access and share stored content wirelessly with any smartphone, tablet, computer or other device. Additionally, when users need to transfer large amounts of data, the My Passport Wireless drive provides the option of using a high speed USB 3.0 connection.
The My Passport Wireless drive broadcasts its own wireless network that allows up to eight devices to connect at the same time and access any content stored on the drive. It’s available in 500GB, 1TB or 2TB models.
The My Passport Wireless drive is currently available for advance order online at the wdstore.com and will be available at select U.S. retailers later in September. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is US$129.99 for 500GB, $179.99 USD for 1TB and $219.99 for 2 TB. The WD My Cloud mobile app currently is available for download for free from the Apple App Store.
