Western Digital Limited Edition My Passport Drives

To commemorate the 10th anniversary of its My Passport line of portable external hard drives, WD, a Western Digital company, is introducing a sleek new design for the world's most popular external hard drive lines. More than 60 million My Passport drives have been sold in the past 10 years, providing approximately 42,000 petabytes of content protection for consumers worldwide.

"We thank all of our customers for their ongoing feedback over the years, which has helped make My Passport the most popular external hard drives ever."
