Micro-USB cable a little wobbly
Design won't appeal to everyone
There's no USB-C (so no future-proofing) and the high-capacity versions of the drive are bulky

Good performance, Striking looks, Lots of bundled software
Sharp corners and edges, Not significantly better than lower priced models

The new Western Digital My Passport 2016 is a really nice option for those who have to backup large amounts of data frequently. It looks good and the overall performance is satisfactory. That said, we feel it could've been made a bit more durable and the...
