According to Western Digital Malaysia, its portable My Passport SSD will be made available at select retailers and distributors starting from 7 July 2017. As mentioned in our previous article, the My Passport SSD will come in three storage capacities: 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB.

One rather interesting trait about Western Digital’s My Passport SSD is that it comes with both a USB Type-A and USB Type-C connector. This, of course, will be beneficial for consumers who switch back and forth between using different devices that have different USB standards.
That aside, when it comes to pricing, the 256GB variant of this portable SSD will come with a price tag of RM579. Besides that, the larger 512GB variant will be priced at RM1,039, while the largest 1TB variant has an eye opening price tag of RM2,099. Western Digital is also currently running a two-week long promotion campaign with its partner, Lazada (until 6 July 2017). The promotion can be viewed here.
