1 TB portable USB 3.2 Gen 1 drive

The Western Digital My Passport WDBYVG0010BBL-WESN is a 1 TB portable hard drive in a slim blue enclosure. It connects through a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and is also compatible with USB 2.0 ports. The drive is formatted NTFS for Windows 10 and 8.1 out of the box.

Travellers and everyday users needing simple backup

The slim form factor suits people who carry a drive in a bag and want automatic file backups with password protection and 256-bit AES hardware encryption. Buyers who require a ruggedised casing, solid-state speeds or a drive pre-formatted for macOS or Linux without reformatting should consider other options.

WD Discovery software

The bundled WD Discovery application provides WD Backup for scheduled backups, password management and drive utilities. It also integrates with cloud services such as Dropbox, Google Drive and Facebook for photo importing. A SuperSpeed USB cable and quick install guide are also supplied in the package.
