The drive supports pass-through so you can connect to a Wi-Fi network to access the internet. From there you can change a number of parameters including what happens when you insert a USB stick (or a DSLR camera or another external hard drive) or an SD card.

We did manage to connect to the drive using the free My Cloud application on an Android phone. This didn't have any impact on performance and is likely to be an issue that can be ignored. We also observed a sharp, difficult to describe, sound that occurred frequently when switching Wi-Fi on and off outside of that, the My Passport Wireless Pro was quiet. One thing we noted when testing the device is that it vibrates a fair bit. Once you manage to connect to it over Wi-Fi, head over to to configure your drive.

We strongly advise you to install the WD apps on the Wireless Pro (Backup and Access). However, Wi-Fi does still work when the My Passport Wireless Pro is connected to an emergency power bank. Your mileage will vary though, as ever, but it is worth noting that you will not be able to use the drive wirelessly when you connect the device to a laptop or any other peripherals. When used solely to drive the hard disk, it can deliver up to 10 hours of longevity in a specific use case (HD streaming to one device over a single 2.4GHz band). The Wireless Pro also comes with a massive 6,400mAh battery which can be used as a power bank. You will obviously need to have compatible devices to make the most of it. The drive offers 802.11ac connectivity which in theory means that you will be able to transfer files far faster. That was likely an issue with Windows rather than the device.

Sadly, we couldn't get our Windows 10 test machine to connect with the drive wirelessly, either on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz channels. That's better than the drives we tested last year and likely to be due to the higher platter density which allows more bytes to be crammed in per unit volume/area. The drive performed quite well on CrystalDiskMark, hitting 121.9MBps and 120.9MBps in read and write respectively.

It's worth noting that the average drive read time stands at 8.5ms. It consumes an average of 2W in read/write mode and 0.7W when idle. The WD30NPRZ runs at 5,400RPM and is equipped with 64MB cache. The My Passport Wireless Pro uses a 15mm tall, 2.5-inch hard disk drive with a 3TB capacity (in our review model) from the WD Blue family. The drive came with a 12.24W (5.1V/2.4A) power supply unit and interchangeable plugs for UK, EU and US markets. In that mode, the lights on top will indicate how far the copy/move process has got to go.

Long press the SD card button and the contents of your SD card will be automatically copied or moved вЂ“ depending on how the button is configured вЂ“ to the hard disk drive.

There's also a removable sticker with the SSID and default password of the device.ДЇlip it over and on the underside you'll find four rubber feet as well as another sticker with more details about the My Passport Wireless Pro вЂ“ including the serial number and the MAC address.ДЄn SD card slot is located on one side and two square buttons вЂ“ one for power and the other one for accessing the SD card вЂ“ are located on the other, alongside a flat USB 3.0 connector and a standard USB 2.0 host port. On top there's the WD logo and six status lights: four to indicate the battery capacity, one for the Wi-Fi status and one to indicate whether the drive is spinning. The drive is made of anthracite-coloured ABS plastic with plenty of rounded corners, and it feels solid. Think about it вЂ“ it's about the same size as a DVD disk with dimensions of 125 x 125 x 22mm, and it weighs 450g. The My Passport Wireless Pro reminded us of an external DVD player or the Voyo V3 mini PC.
