The My Passport Elite shares the same basic design as its sibling, the Essential. Measuring 4.967" x 3.130" x 0.590" (126.15mm x 79.5mm x 15mm) and weighing in at only 0.40 lbs (0.18 kg), the Elite is compact enough to fit into a purse, laptop bag or even a pocket.

The Elite is constructed of a durable, but lightweight plastic. The outer shell of the drive is available in four different colors (Titanium, Bronze, Westminster Blue and Cherry Red) and is covered with a soft-touch material which makes it easy to grip. The soft-touch material does not cover the entire drive though, as three of the sides have a glossy finish.
The USB connector and LED indicators are located along one end of the Elite. By looking at the four LED's, you can determine the state of the drive. They will light up or flash, depending on what the drive is doing at the time. The Elite is also unique in that the LED's can be used as a capacity gauge. When connected to a computer with the necessary drivers and software, the four sections will light up, indicating how much space is in use. The LED panel can also be slid over to the right to protect the USB connector when the drive is not in use.
