WD My Passport Wireless Pro review.
Spoiler alert; it’s the best Portable HDD for traveling photographers and videographers…. or just “normal people” and families… EVER.

My Fantastic Field Trip to the Planets
(122)
Wow, that’s exactly what I was hoping to find!
So glad I found you! Very informative and clearly explained . I subscribed, great stuff!
Ohhh this looks ace. I love the streaming ability for movies etc, what a brilliant travel gadget. TAKE ME MONEY!!!!!
They just keep getting Bigger and faster. nice lil touch with the Battery Light/Progress.
Thanks Nate. Will definitely get one after your review. Sidenote: The set looked nice too;-)
Can you access and edit, say from an iPad?
Excellent video, great info.. +subbed! ;L)
If I didn’t know you don’t to paid advertisements I’d think this was one. Obviously you love this drive. I too am a fan of WD products, (since the last century) though I’ve never used their wireless drives.
0:17 thought you were gonna start singing a daft punk song
Thanx alot blunty for in detail review. You answered all my questions in the video
if only I had the money to afford 2TB…I barely bought 1TB my passport ultra metal edition 😀
This…. is amazing for photographers. I’m going to get one of these in the future for paid-shooting. So awesome. You can literally just pop the second card in (from my Nikon DSLR) and have a 3rd copy of files. So nice.
Thanks for showing this!
Is it possible to change the actual HDD inside if it’s damaged ?
Great video.
Thanks for the great video !
I’ve purchased the 2 TB version today. After your video I’m quite confident that it will be the ideal solution for me on my next holiday when I plan to shoot everything in 4K. Offloading SD cards on the move without needing a laptop saves me from buying a couple of dozen SD cards 🙂
Is it possible to set it to automatically backup your files to a cloud server such as Dropbox?
Question for you Blunty – if my camera shoots to a CF card and I bring the USB card reader and plug it into the USB2 port on this, will it automatically suck it down with the progress indicator? Pity it’s not USB 3.0 on the port. Also will it read exFat formatted cards?
You sold me. I use the Nikon D500 which has SD and XQD cards. Of course I’ll have to buy the XQD adapter. Now how large of capacity. Two seem seems fine but might jump up to the 3T.
Lovely video. You mentioned you can hook up another external HDD to it to pull data *from*….I was wondering if it’s possible to PUSH data to an external HDD. On trips I’d like to carry this and one more normal WDPassport drive so I could first dump from my SD card to the Wireless Pro and then make a second copy onto the normal WDPassport. I’d be moving large video files, so a file system that supports them is a must, btw. Think this is a thing I can do? Thanks Blunty!
Nice but expensive. Also no USBC.
was gonna insta dislike this video because seriously, a external hard drive is an external harddrive. how wrong I would have been to do that
what about cf cards ?
i remember when blunty got this, it was delivered during a twitch stream
Have you used these hard drives with a Mac at all or just with Windows PC’s?
Reading the specs on the drive makes it seem very PC-centric, i.e. must format the drive using NTFS.
Sounds really cool! Can it clear the SD after it’s backed up? Like is there many configuration options?
when you find that guy that does perfect reviews with education at the same time.
Thanks for the video. Quick and dirty and lots of info without the unnecessary banter. One question: any differences between the sizes (now available: 1 through 4 TB)? Obviously in storage, but I wonder if there are significant differences in reliability, speed, batterylife or weight. I would only use it for RAW files on the go, so I would never top off even the smallest size of 1TB in one day, so my thoughts are to buy the 1TB (or 2TB) version if there are no other significant differences.
This is a massively awesome review and now I will be looking into the Passport vs the earlier version. Thank you for putting such a great production together.
