2TB portable storage for everyday backups

The Western Digital My Passport WDBYVG0020BBK-WESN is a 2TB portable hard drive with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface and a slim black design. It ships formatted NTFS for Windows 10 and 8.1 and includes WD Discovery software for automatic backup and password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption. The package contains the drive, a SuperSpeed USB cable and a quick install guide.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 caps transfer speed at 5 Gbps

The drive uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 connection that is also compatible with USB 2.0 ports. Maximum throughput is limited to the 5 Gbps signalling rate of the Gen 1 specification, so sustained reads and writes will not exceed that ceiling. Mechanical latency of the internal platters adds further overhead compared with solid-state alternatives. Reformatting may be required for operating systems other than Windows 10 or 8.1.

Check your port type and file-system needs

Before ordering, verify that your computer has a USB-A or USB-C port that can accept the supplied SuperSpeed cable. Confirm whether you need to reformat the drive for macOS, Linux or older Windows versions because the factory format is NTFS. The unit draws power from the USB bus, so a port that delivers the standard 5 V supply is required. Buyers who need hardware encryption on a different interface or capacities above 2TB should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Which capacity of the My Passport range should I choose if I need 2TB of storage?

The WDBYVG0020BBK-WESN model provides exactly 2TB in a slim, portable enclosure.

What does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface mean for real-world transfer speeds on this drive?

The mechanical hard drive inside will reach its own sustained read and write limits well below the 5 Gbit/s bus ceiling, so the interface does not bottleneck typical file copies.

Does the USB 3.2 Gen 1 port work with older USB 2.0 ports on my laptop?

Yes, the drive is backward compatible and will operate at the slower USB 2.0 rate when connected to a legacy port.
