Have purchased “My Passport”
Have just realized that there is NO information on the device that says whether it is SSD or HDD type
Nor can i find information in Windows (10) that disclose it
Many thanks, UML

should be labeled on the retail box if it’s an SSD … if not labeled as SSD then it’s a standard mechanical hard drive.
the price you paid for it will also be an indicator … eg. a 1TB SSD Passport on Amazon is $389 … a Non SSD Passport will cost about 1/4 of that price.
Hi Joey
Many thanks for your response (“is My Passport is SSD or HDD type”)
The one i have, was bought more than a year ago… (price & box have gone long ago)
Here is another link to Amazon site showing “My Passport”, but it has nothing about the type (SSD or HDD)!!
Re: Backup: Why HDD vs SSD may be important
Thanks for addressing this issue; UML
That drive is 100% not an SSD
Thanks Joey
Returning to the issue i have.
Having one or two “MyPassport” is there a software (preferred Windows 10 utility) that identify the whether it is HDD or SSD?
Discovered its an HDD
I was wondering the same…however I realized that MY 5TB is a lot heavier than it would be if it were an SSD, it has to be an older style mechanical (HDD)
