In addition, WD has introduced WD Grip Pack, a new optional soft band accessory, which encircles the drive to provide consumers with an easy way to personalize their My Passport drives. ![]() My Passport Ultra portable drives are available in capacities of 3TB, 2TB, 1TB and feature 256-bit AES hardware encryption (with no impact to write-speed or CPU activity) for a high-level security to protect user content with a password known only to them. Its USB 3.0 compatibility allows for data transfer rates of up to 5 gigabits per second as well as backward compatible with USB 2.0. The My Passport for Mac portable drives come in 3TB, 2TB, and 1TB capacities and also feature 256-bit AES hardware encryption with USB 3.0 connectivity. All models come with the company’s built-in and easy-to-use WD Backup software, which helps to ease frustration when setting up a backup plan to preserve data. ![]() The WD Grip Pack accessory for My Passport Ultra is designed to personalize the device with five different colors: smoke, slate, grape, sky and fuchsia. The WD Grip Pack also comes with a color-matched 18” flat USB 3.0 cable. **Pricing and Availability** My Passport Ultra and My Passport for Mac portable drives are now available on the WD store and at select retailers ranging from $79.99 up to $199.99 (the 3TB capacity will be available next month).
