The WD My Passport Wireless SSD is a portable drive with fast solid state storage, an SD slot for backing-up photos and videos without the need for a laptop, Wifi for wireless access, and a built-in battery allowing it to operate for ten hours without any cables. Alternatively get yourself a copy of my In Camera book or treat me to a coffee! Thanks! Buy it now! Check prices on the WD My Passport Wireless SSD at Amazon, B&H, or Adorama. If you'll exploit its standalone SD backup and wireless sharing capabilities though, it comes recommended. You should also think carefully about your workflow: if you need to travel with a laptop you'll save money and space with a basic portable drive and if you only want to transfer a handful of photos to your phone most camera's offer adequate built-in Wifi solutions. On the downside, the unit is fairly large (although still smaller than any laptop), it's not water-proof, and you'll only enjoy the speed of the SSD with a direct USB connection. Meanwhile the battery can be exploited as a power bank to charge USB devices like phones. The built-in Wifi lets you share the storage with multiple computers, tablets and phones like a wireless NAS, or as a wireless media server streaming content to DLNA or Plex compatible players like smart TVs. Its built-in SD slot can automatically copy the contents of your cards before letting you browse them wirelessly with a phone or tablet. Summary The WD My Passport Wireless SSD is a highly versatile device that lets you backup your photos in the field without lugging around a laptop or power supply.
