The perks of the Slim drive don’t end with its appearances and durability WD bundles in a bunch of software to help sweeten the deal.
When the 2TB gets released, it’ll have a thickness of 0.70″, which compared to the 0.82″ thickness of the regular 2TB My Passport sounds quite good.Īs with all 1TB drives, the usable space is 931GB when formatted.ġTB might not seem hugely impressive in 2013, but in this form-factor, it certainly is. While WD will offer a 2TB Slim model in time, all that’s available at the moment is the 1TB. Hmm, that seems a little foolish, doesn’t it?

As inane as it may be, this might have been done to keep the drive as purely thin as possible it just might not look as thin as it truly is if it had feet.

However, one thing I find a little unusual is that the Slim model doesn’t have feet like the Ultra does.

In the shot, the Slim drive has a bit of an orange hue to it, but in person it’s purely gray. In the photo below, you can see it sitting amongst its siblings, the My Passport Ultra 1TB (blue) and My Passport 2TB (black).
