Password protection with 256-bit AES encryption in the drive's hardware keeps the contents unreadable to anyone who picks it up without the password.

WD's drawing gives the footprint — 4.22 × 2.95 in (107 × 75 mm) — and the shell is 0.53 in (13.5 mm) thick, small enough for a laptop sleeve pocket.

256-BIT AES Password Protection in Hardware

Password Protection in Hardware

Encryption runs in the drive's own hardware with 256-bit AES, and a password locks access, so the data stays protected even if the drive is lost.

Frequently Asked Questions & Store Support

Does it need a separate power adapter?
No. It is a portable drive powered over the same USB cable that carries the data.
Will it work on a USB 2.0 port?
Yes. It is USB 2.0 compatible, at USB 2.0 speed. Connect it to a USB 3.0 / 3.2 Gen 1 port for the full 5 Gb/s interface.
Does it have a USB-C connector?
The drive end is Micro-B. To connect a laptop that only has USB-C ports, use a USB-C adapter or a Micro-B to USB-C cable.
How does the encryption work?
You set a password with WD's software and the drive encrypts data in its hardware with 256-bit AES; without the password the contents cannot be read.
How much usable space is there?
WD counts 1TB as one trillion bytes, so your operating system reports somewhat less than 2TB of usable space.
