WD and SanDisk New Wireless and Portable SSD - Faster Workflow for Photographer and Videographer
WD and SanDisk New Wireless and Portable SSD - Faster Workflow for Photographer and Videographer

If you are a photographer who shoot RAW photos and videographer who shoot slow-mo and 4K footages, and drone user like me who shoot 4K, HDD storage is one important thing that you shouldn't neglect. So if you are like me, shoot tons of photos and videos every day and night, these new gadgets might fit in and ease your daily life.

Western Digital Corporation (WD) recently launched two new portable SSDs in Malaysia, the My Passport Wireless SSD and SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD. [What's SSD? SSD is Solid State Drive that offer you faster storage/reading speed and much more durable than the normal HDD. You may want to read more about SSD vs HDD] 

I used the earlier version of My Passport HDD and glad that they now come up with the SSD version for My Passport. I am actually more excited for the launch of SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD as not only the storage is smaller in size, it is much more durable than HDD and easy to bring along as your travel gadget. No one want to bring along a heavy Hard-Disk- Drives (HDD) when climb Mt. Everest right?

So the good news about WD My Passport Wireless SSD is other than preserving it's previous features (wireless transfer/SD Cards backup without need of PC), it is now using SSD which is much more durable and faster in speed. Shock proof up to 1 metre; The only bad news is that SSD do come with a higher price (SSD price is much more affordable if compared to last time), the only things matter now is how you value your time. Time is gold for you? Then go for better storage option that offer you both speed and durability.

1600 Pandas Flash Mob @ Perbadanan Putrajaya, Malaysia #1600Pandas

1600 Pandas @ Perbadanan Putrajaya Just came back from Putrajaya after paying a visit to the 1600 Pandas exhibited at Perbadanan Putrajaya . The pandas flash mob were supposed to last for two hours but around 11am++ the pandas were being kept back to the rack due to drizzling at the venue. Anyhow, I manage to get some photos for you guys (and myself) haha. I love this location because the pandas were being placed on the carpet grass right in front of the beautiful buildings in Putrajaya. Too bad that the weather wasn't sunny and the carpet grass became muddy after rain. Luckily I wore my Havaianas slipper or else I am in deep shit hahaha. Malaysia local celebrities Jeffrey Cheng 庄惟翔 and  TJ 东于哲 were spotted at Perbadanan Putrajaya doing photoshoot and quick interview with the media. I also spotted a wedding couple who did their wedding photoshoot around the pandas. Looking forward to see their photos in the social media. (Share with me if you saw it kay??) Okie now more
