My drive arrived yesterday and I've now had chance to do some tests. I had heard rumours about the My Passport Wireless Pro and so held off from buying its predecessor. So far it is living up to expectations and performs brilliantly with SD cards. I did a couple of tests today:Test 1 – Transfer from Compact Flash (CF) to My Passport Wireless ProData transferred: 9.87 GBTime taken: 37.16 minutesEffective transfer rate: 4.53 Mbytes/SecBattery consumed: approx. 14% of capacity (both wifi ports were enabled and operational so not in low power mode)Test 2 – Transfer from SD card via built in SD Card reader to My Passport Wireless ProData transferred: 24.4 GBTime taken: 8.5 minutesEffective transfer rate: 49 Mbytes/SecBattery consumed: approx.3% of capacity (both wifi ports were enabled and operational so not in low power mode)Backing up from SD cards is very impressive and easy; CF about the same as I get on my home PC which is not surprising as it is using a USB 2 port on the My Passport Wireless Pro.The device has a series of four small subtle LEDs on it which indicate the progress of the backup (or battery life when not backing up). They are very useful and mean the device can work stand alone for backup without a mobile device to act as a screen (which can be done easily); you simply plug your SD card in and wait for the fourth LED to go solid – when it does go solid the card is backed up. Incremental back up also works. Via a USB 3 cable (supplied) the drive can be connected to a PC and any backed-up files imported into Lightroom, say.Media streaming is another cool feature and seems to work well. I had no problem connecting to my Sony TVs and streaming videos, pictures or music.I am an enthusiastic photographer and the specification on this product seems to cater for most of the wants and needs of a digital photographer. It is now possible to leave the laptop behind when out in the field and back up memory cards very easily. In theory it should be possible to be away from any power-supplies for many days and be able to take back-ups very easily.The size is ok and the weight compared to some of the lenses I carry around is also ok however using an SSD rather than a conventional hard disk would have reduced the weight and made it a very cool device.My Passport Wireless Pro will connect directly (via wifi) to mobile devices and to your home network simultaneously (it has two wifi ports) if you want it to. Viewing files and changing settings is relatively easy from any device. The only weak point I have noticed so far is the android MY Cloud app.I am already recommending this to my friends. It is possibly a little expensive but how much value does one put on a days worth of pictures? Of course it can be used for other purposes and comes with software to back up your pictures from your home computer - but I've not tried this and have no intention of doing so.This seems a first class product and long overdue.

Having read some of the earlier product reviews I was a little uneasy about using the product even though the reviews did not put me off buying it. Even more so because I have waited for a product like this for several years simply because my prime cameras all use dual CF cards and although I can back up my SD cards with another WD Wireless product I have long wanted one that provides the same functionality for CF cards.So, it was with some trepidation that I used it for the first time but I needn't have worried. Once the drive was fully powered up and set up, I simply connected a CD card using a card reader that plugged into the USB2.0 port on the back.I did a fair bit of research into the card readers that had been tested by (and were therefore supported by) WD and I also spoke with Tech Support before buying the hard drive to find out which card readers were supported.I was also pleasantly surprised with the transfer rates. Again, a lot of reviews suggested these were not good but I have to say that transferring a dozen test images (RAW format) took less than minute.I only intend using this device as a back up when in the field and whilst it might be different when transferring hundreds of RAW images each day, at the moment I can see no reason to think that transfers are going to take hours.

I bought this drive for my iPad(5th Gen) so I could watch my movie library off it, as my iPad only has 32gb of storage and I wanted to take my movies with me.It has a built in DLNA server so it works fantastically with VLC player on the iPad, you just connect to the drive via WiFi on the iPad and then goto local network on VLC and it pops up and you can play all your videos from within VLC.The video streams perfectly at 1080p with no juddering/lag what so ever.It also works really well to back up your photos and home videos to the drive as well to free up some much needed storage on the iPad.The battery life on the drive is also very good!

Really difficult to set up but after watching you tube found solution to problems in use. (Not clear interface on app) Need to persevere. Now set up, really easy to use. Mainly use for GoPro video. Can auto update from phone if allowed on app via units WiFi Quick to download from SD card just plug in and away the hard drive goes. Worth having for easy backup in field. Watching video and photos back on phone and tabletp so easy. Really happy with unit now.

Bought this to download all my PC contents so could access them on my Android tablet. Required an additional Microsoft app, but it works. Also means I can back up all my Android tablet contents onto it as well - when I remember! Bit of a fiddle with cables. Don't know about battery life: I always use a Y-connector and so it's powered froma a USB supply.

Bought it purely to save photos when i'm on my travelsWorks fine for that, no idea about any of its other functions, haven't tried themCould do with some basic instructions, something like a quick start guideGot mine in a sale, not sure I would pay the rrp for it though

Cool hard drive. Love the battery and the SD backup is a godsend. It is however slow and stutters when viewing forage wirelessly on your phone. It is great tho that you can visually check without a laptop or tablet. Love it!

Bought this to be able to back up my pictures while away from home. So far this has lived up to expectations and I can quickly see if they have loaded by checking with my phone.

Think twice about buying this it’s easy to get stuff on via sd card but not formatted for macs and the WiFi is slow

Essential kit for the photographer - automatically downloads your SD cards without needing to use a PC.
