WD My Passport SSD SN550E

The Western Digital My Passport SSD is a DRAM-less portable NVMe SSD, and it comes in various color options, including gold, silver, grey, blue, and red. With a USB 3.2 Gen2 controller and the company’s WD Blue SN550E NVMe SSD under the hood, this portable SSD is designed to deliver high performance. The SSD drive also comes with hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption for the security conscious computer users and support by its WD Discovery software. WD Security lets users add password protection (supported by the hardware encryption).

Ranging from 500GB up to 4TB, the WD My Passport SSDs come in a variety of capacities, and they all are rated to deliver up to 1,050/1,000 MBps of read/write performance under sequential workloads.

Measuring 100 x 55 x 9 mm and weighing in at under 54 grams, WD’s My Passport SSD is sleek, slim, and can easily slip into a pocket. WD supplies the My Passport SSD with a USB Type-C to Type-C cable that supports USB 3.2 Gen 2. There’s also a USB Type-C to Type-A adapter which means that the drive is backwards compatible with older connections.

WD also provides the company’s Discovery software to manage the My Passport SSD and enables downloading a few other apps. WD Security and WD Backup software manage the SSD’s password protection and configure backup tasks on both macOS and Windows-based computers. The WD My Passport SSDs come formatted as exFAT for compatibility with both macOS and Windows-based computers and support S.M.A.R.T. data reporting. When formatted as NTFS, the My Passport SSDs support TRIM.

The WD My Passport SSDs offer a reasonable blend of capable hardware and value and are a really good option for anyone who needs compact storage on the go. But, unfortunately, they may fail just like any other storage media, and then their owners will need to contact a reliable data recovery services provider to get their photos, videos, and other documents back. ACE Data Recovery team can successfully recover data from SSDs of all makes and models and is ready to help the WD My Passport SSD owners with their data recovery needs.

"Would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone else."

ACE Data Recovery recovered all of my data, even though the drive was badly damaged. Throughout the entire process, Don was extremely professional and helpful. He also did a great job of keeping me up to date on where we stood in the recovery process. I will definitely use this company again.

"They have an amazing friendly staff"

If you find yourself in a situation like my wife where her hard drive decided to take a dump and threaten to leave her with the loss of precious files, then I highly recommend you look up ACE Data Recovery.
These guys where straight and transparent about expectations and certainly did not take advantage of our situation and offered reasonable recovery rates for the work they were going to employ. Their communication throughout the whole process was fantastic with weekly updates on the progress of the recovery. Another great feature offered was the ability to break the payment into monthly payments while they worked on our drive. They have an amazing friendly staff Don, Alevtina and Diana, to name a few that certainly makes the difference and are deserving of a 5 star Rating
