WD My Passport 2TB Portable External Hard Drive (WDBAYN0020BBK-WESN) — USB 3.2 Gen 1, Black

Secure, portable storage with password protection and automatic backup.

The WD My Passport 2TB (WDBAYN0020BBK-WESN) is a slim USB 3.2 Gen 1 portable external hard drive with 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection. It is built for students, professionals, and home users who want 2TB of secure, portable backup storage that works right out of the box.

How the WD My Passport 2TB Protects Your Files On the Go

Portable drives are easy to lose, and an unprotected drive exposes everything on it. At the same time, many people skip backups because copying files by hand is tedious.

The WD My Passport 2TB addresses both problems. Built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection keeps data locked if the drive goes missing, and Western Digital’s backup software can run scheduled backups automatically.

It connects with one USB cable for power and data, works with USB 3.2 Gen 1 and USB 2.0 ports, and fits easily in a laptop bag or pocket.

Hardware Encryption and Password Protection

Encryption runs on the drive itself, so it does not slow your computer. Once you set a password, the drive cannot be read without it, adding a layer of protection for personal and work files.

Automatic, Scheduled Backups

Choose what to back up and how often, and the software handles it in the background. It is a simple way to keep a current copy of your important files without remembering to do it manually.
