Features and Specifications
The MyPassport Elite sports a USB 2.0 interface for a transfer rate of up to 480 Mbps and is backwards compatible with good ole USB 1.1 in a pinch. The unit measures 15mm x 126.15mm x 79.5mm making it one of the slimmest portable drives that I’ve come across to date and weighs in at 0.18kgs. Inside the unit is one of Western Digital’s GreenPower 2.5 inch SATA 5400RPM hard drives with a 2MB buffer in either 250GB or 320GB (as tested) keeping power drain to a minimum. It’ll be interesting to see if this has an impact on performance.
The MyPassport Elite comes in four colours which include Blue/Red/Brown and Silver (as tested) and is coated in a soft-touch finish that prevents it from slipping out of your hand. The unit is compatible with most modern Mac and Windows systems, but comes pre-formatted for Windows
