This external SSD presents the best quality/price ratio in our comparison

Available in capacities of 250 GB, 500 GB, 1 TB and 2 TB, the Western Digital My Passport Wireless SSD incorporates the functionalities of the Wireless Pro hard drive. Neither the most compact nor the most durable of external hard drives intended for photographers, it nevertheless acquires a nomadic character thanks to its integrated SD card reader, its 6,700 mAh battery allowing the charging of external devices. Its Wi-Fi connectivity also allows viewing photos and videos from the My Cloud mobile app.

Faster and more durable than its predecessor, the Western Digital My Passport Wireless SSD 500 GB manages to overcome its main flaws while remaining as connected as ever. Here is an SSD that is both transportable and allows remote file management using a Wi-Fi connection.

The second best quality/price ratio

The 256 GB ESD310C is identical to the 1 TB version we tested. When looking for a portable SSD, we generally opt for a model that is both fast and easily transportable. This model perfectly meets these two criteria. Transcend has succeeded in designing a model that is as compact as it is fast — its flow rates are among the best at the moment. Flawless!
