WD My Passport 4TB Portable External Hard Drive (WDBPKJ0040) – USB 3.2 Gen 1

The WD My Passport 4TB (WDBPKJ0040) is a 4TB portable external hard drive for students, travellers and remote workers who need easy-to-carry backup and file storage. It connects over USB 3.2 Gen 1 and works with Windows PCs and Macs, making backups and file transfers straightforward.

Simple, reliable backup storage you can plug in and use.

Free Up Space and Protect Your Files

Laptop and desktop drives fill up quickly with photos, videos and project files, and a single failure, theft or ransomware attack can wipe out years of data. Cloud storage helps but is slow to restore and costs more over time.

The WD My Passport 4TB gives you 4TB of local storage for backups and overflow files. It is light enough to carry daily and powered directly over USB.

Plug-and-Play Backup

Connect over USB 3.2 Gen 1 and start copying files, or schedule automatic backups with Windows File History, macOS Time Machine or your preferred backup software.

Security for Your Files

256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection help keep your data private if the drive is lost.
