Portable 1 TB USB 3.1 drive

The Western Digital My Passport is a portable external hard drive that stores up to 1 TB of photos, videos, music and documents. Its slim, durable design fits in the palm of your hand for easy transport. The drive connects via USB 3.1 and remains compatible with USB 3.0 ports. It is suited to anyone who needs reliable, pocket-sized backup for everyday files.

Hardware encryption and ransomware defence

Included device-management software provides password protection and hardware encryption to help secure important data. The same software adds a defence layer against ransomware attacks. Both features require downloading, installing the application and accepting the applicable terms. This software layer is the specification that decides whether the drive meets your security requirements.

For users who want simple encrypted backup

The drive suits people who want a compact, plug-and-play solution with built-in encryption and ransomware defence for personal files. It is not for buyers who need solid-state speeds, ruggedised shock ratings beyond standard portable use, or a drive formatted out of the box for a specific operating system without reformatting.
