The connection type is USB 3.2 Gen2, though I have to point out that the USB-C cable that comes as part of the WD My Passport SSD box is incredibly short-you’ll either leave it dangling when connected to an iMac or a PC or buy yourself a longer cable. The biggest change internally is the switch from the SATA to the NVMe internals, which means these jumps from a best-case scenario top read speed of 540MB/s to now being rated at 1050MB/s of read speeds and 1000MB/s of write speeds. Mind you, the WD My Passport SSD is much faster than both of these options. There’s also the compact Samsung T5, which costs Rs 5,999 for the 500GB option, for instance.
In terms of the alternatives, you have the SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD that is priced around Rs 6,699 for the 500GB variant and around Rs 10,999 for the 1TB option, in case you are looking at something very rugged from the outset.
