Western Digital My Passport 2TB portable hard drive WDBWML0020BGY-WESN

Portable Storage for USB-C Devices

The Western Digital My Passport 2TB portable hard drive provides 2TB of capacity in a slim enclosure measuring 107.2mm by 75.00mm by 13.5mm and weighing 139g. It connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 and includes WD Discovery software for backup, password protection and drive management. The Silicon Grey finish suits mobile professionals and creatives who need local storage across Windows, Mac, Chromebook, consoles, phones and tablets.

USB 3.2 Gen 1 Interface Limits

The drive operates at SuperSpeed USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds and remains backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though transfer rates will drop to the older standard's ceiling. The single USB-C connection supplies both data and power, so no external adapter is required. Performance is bounded by the mechanical drive and the interface bandwidth, not by a faster protocol that the hardware does not support.

2TB Capacity and Practical Headroom

Two terabytes holds large photo libraries, video projects and system backups with room for incremental updates. The 256-bit AES hardware encryption and included Acronis True Image for Western Digital software add ransomware protection and scheduled backups without consuming user space. Users needing more than 2TB or seeking solid-state speeds will need a different drive class.
