Wd My Passport Ssd Driver Windows 10

Post by Freddie »

I recently purchased a WD My Passport SSD and I'm having trouble finding the driver for it on Windows 10. I've searched on the official WD website, but I could only find firmware updates and software utilities, not the actual driver. I also tried searching on popular driver download websites, but again, no luck. Can anyone provide me with a direct link to download the driver for WD My Passport SSD compatible with Windows 10? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
