Physical Features:
At first glace, the My Passport Wireless looks very similar to some of WD's portable hard drives. In particular, it resembles the My Passport Air, Studio and Pro. The 2TB version of the device measures 5.0 x 3.39 x 1.17 in (127 x 86 x 29.8 mm) and weighs in at 0.77 lb (0.35 kb). The 500GB and 1TB versions are thinner and weigh slightly less, but the larger 2TB version is still small and lightweight enough to feel at home in a purse, laptop bag or backpack.
Like WD's other portable drives, the My Passport Wireless is very well constructed. While the top of the drive is plastic, the bottom and sides are metal, which gives it a very solid feel. If you look closely, you can see that there are two LED's on top of the drive. The top indicator lights up when the My Passport Wireless is powered on and will change colors and bink to show the status and battery level. The other indicator is used to show when Wi-Fi is enabled and the status of the network connection.
The rear of the My Passport Wireless is pretty straight forward. Along with the drive's USB 3.0 port, there are two buttons. The power button is used to turn the drive on and off and wake it from standby. The other button is used to connect the My Passport Wireless to a router using WPS, show battery status and start an SD card transfer.
One of the My Passport Wireless' more unique features is its built-in SD card slot. This slot is located along the left hand side of the drive. When a card is inserted, the contents can be copied or moved onto the My Passport Wireless and shared with other devices connected to the device via Wi-Fi.
