The Western Digital My Passport Wireless device.
Photographers, videographers and those who have to deal with a great deal of photos or video files may be frustrated with difficulties in storing all their content on multiple devices. A wireless drive can help free up space on your devices and could be the ideal solution.
Western Digital My Passport Wireless is a Wi-Fi enabled storage drive that allows users to save, access and share stored content wirelessly on any smartphone, tablet, computer or other device.
For the frequent business traveller to the family on a road trip, My Passport Wireless drive is a way to connect all computing and mobile devices to content, without any wires or internet connection. Additionally, when users need to transfer large amounts of data, the My Passport Wireless drive provides the option of using a high speed USB 3.0 connection. Thanapatt Laokajorn, sales manager of WD (Thailand), said that by 2016, the average home will have 3.3TB of data. By 2020, one third of all data will be stored, or will have passed through the cloud, and have created 35 zettabytes (billion terabytes) worth of data.
Mobile consumers today are faced with common problems of having too many devices with limited capacities and no real way to offload their content and free up space on-the-go.
My Passport Wireless drive combines the benefit of cloud and an external drive. The drive broadcasts its own wireless network that allows up to eight devices to connect at the same time and access any content stored on the drive.
Available in 1TB or 2TB models, users now have the ability to store and access up to hundreds of hours of movies and music, as well photos and other digital files, from their smartphones and tablets that are typically limited by minimal storage capacity.
The portable wireless drive features Wireless N with MIMO technology for enhanced wireless performance so that users can access and transfer files quickly, as well as stream up to four HD videos simultaneously. The built-in rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of continuous streaming and up to 20 hours of standby power.
With the My Passport Wireless drive users have access anywhere, anytime to their favourite digital content by using WD My Cloud mobile app for iOS or Android mobile devices. The WD My Cloud mobile app easily connects to a My Passport Wireless drive for simple product set-up and once set up, the mobile app provides intuitive navigation, sharing and playback of the drive's content.
The WD My Cloud app also helps unify all of a users' content under a single app and user interface, by allowing access to content on the My Passport Wireless drive, the WD My Cloud family of personal cloud storage, and on major public cloud services such as Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive from just one app.
In additional to mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, the portable wireless storage drive is an ideal companion for cameras with its integrated SD card slot. The built-in SD card slot lets users copy their content from the SD card to the My Passport Wireless drive to make room for more memorable moments. With integrated FTP, the drive connects to compatible wireless cameras so that users can automatically transfer photos from their cameras to the drive as they are taking them.
My Passport Wireless drive will be officially launched tomorrow at Commart Comtech at Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, priced at 5,990 baht for 1TB and 7,590 baht for 2TB. The WD My Cloud mobile app is available to download for free from the App Store and Google Play.
