Western Digital has unveiled the latest version of it WD My Passport SSD portable hard drive – and it boasts ludicrously fast read and write speeds of 1,050MB/s reading and 1,000MB/s.

The new WD My Passport SSD doubles the speed of its predecessor, which we already rank as one of the best portable SSDs – and the non-SSD version of the WD My Passport is one of our top picks for best portable hard drives, so the product family enjoys a very good lineage.
