WD My Passport Ultra and Grip Pack
Western Digital proves once again that a fresh look, larger storage capacities, and some easy-to-use software are all you need to justify a new hard drive. The new WD My Passport Ultra replaces the previous generation after roughly one year but now comes with extra software, more color choices and includes a new 3TB capacity.
The My Passport Ultra is available in four capacities: 500GB, 1TB, 2TB and 3TB, which carry the suggested retail price of $80, $100, $130 and $200, respectively. All of the capacities of the My Passport Ultra are currently available for purchase except the 3TB version, which is delayed until later in June of this year.
Western Digital realized than many of its customers own multiple My Passport drives and store different things on different drives. With those users in mind, WD not only offers the new My Passport Ultra in four colors (black, white, wild berry and blue), but WD also offers the optional $12.99 Grip Pack that includes a soft band that helps protect the drive from impact, as well as a matching 18-inch USB 3.0 flat cable. The Grip Pack comes in five additional colors (smoke, slate, grape, sky and fuchsia) so you can mix and match drive colors and Grip Pack colors to easily identify which drive you want if you’re using multiple drives.
We took a closer look at the new 2TB drive in the wild berry color with the optional slate color Grip Pack. In terms of the exterior design, the only obvious change with the new Ultra is that the top color plate has changed from a satin finish with a pattern of dots to a single color with a glossy finish. That new glossy top plate is noticeably more prone to fingerprint smudges, but we’re happy to see clean color rather than the old dot-matrix design on the top of the Ultra.
The optional Grip Pack is a nice addition not only because of the added impact protection from the band around the edges of the drive, but it comes with a matching flat cable which is less likely to become frayed over time from being constantly jammed into your backpack, purse, or briefcase. While we commend WD for offering multiple color options of the Grip Pack, we also feel like the all versions of the Ultra should come with the slate grip band and the flat USB cable as standard. If customers want unique color options then they can spend an extra $13 to get a different color Grip Pack, but the premium Ultra drive should come with the added protection of the grip band at no additional charge.
