Important HDD vs SSD Note The WD My Passport 2TB is a portable hard disk drive (HDD) . It should not be described as an SSD. Compared with a portable SSD: HDD advantages Lower cost per terabyte Good for large backup libraries Practical for archive storage SSD advantages Faster transfer performance Better resistance to movement and shock Smaller and lighter in many cases For backups and general storage where maximum transfer speed is not essential, the My Passport remains a practical option.
