WD My Passport SSD 2TB Portable External SSD (WDBAGF0020BGY-WESN) – USB-C, Up to 1,050MB/s, Password Protection

Fast, encrypted portable storage that fits in your pocket.

The WD My Passport SSD 2TB is a portable NVMe-based external SSD with a USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C connection. It reads at up to 1,050MB/s and writes at up to 1,000MB/s, adds 256-bit AES hardware encryption with password protection, and is drop-resistant, making it ideal for professionals who carry sensitive files.

Why Portable Drives Need Both Speed and Security

Portable drives carry valuable data, from client files to family photos. Slow hard drives make backups tedious, and unencrypted drives expose sensitive information if lost or stolen.

The My Passport SSD addresses both problems. Its NVMe-based internals deliver up to 1,050MB/s over USB-C, and hardware AES encryption with a password locks your data without slowing down transfers.

Fast Transfers for Large Files

With up to 1,050MB/s reads, the My Passport SSD moves large video files and photo libraries in minutes. It is fast enough to work directly from the drive for many projects.

Secure and Durable Design

256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection safeguard data, and the drive is drop-resistant up to 1.98 meters. WD software supports backup and password setup.

How to Set Up the WD My Passport SSD 2TB
