Status, November 2026: current. WD still lists the My Passport in 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 TB sizes.
What it is
The My Passport is a 2.5-inch spinning hard drive in a plastic case. Its current design arrived in September 2019, per StorageReview, and the 6 TB size followed in 2024, per Tom's Hardware. The drive has a Micro-B port and runs at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps); the only cable in the box ends in USB-A, which suits the USB-A ports on most club players (WD product overview). It measures 107.2 × 75.0 mm, 13.5 mm thick at 1 and 2 TB and 20.6 mm at 6 TB, and weighs 140 to 210 g.
WD gives no read or write speed and no drop or water rating. Reviewers measured about 100 to 130 MB/s, and Tom's Hardware notes that WD warns against dropping or jolting it, or moving it while it works. Zen Gadgets English found its read speed fell from 127 to 87 MB/s once the drive was about 90% full.
It ships formatted NTFS for Windows, PCWorld found, and none of the players in the external drives guide's format table read NTFS, so reformat it to exFAT or FAT32 first. WD publishes no current draw, and the XDJ-RX3, XDJ-AZ and OPUS-QUAD rate their USB ports at 5 V and 1 A or less, so try it on those units before relying on it.
