5TB Portable Storage

The Western Digital My Passport is a 5TB portable external hard drive in black. It connects via a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port and remains compatible with USB 2.0 hosts. The slim enclosure fits in a hand and is intended for personal, gaming and business use. Backup software with password protection is available for download and requires registration.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

Buyers needing up to 5TB of capacity for photos, videos, music and documents on a single drive will find this model suitable. The hardware encryption and included backup tools help keep data secure without extra configuration. Users who require faster transfer rates than USB 3.0 provides, or who need a ruggedised chassis for harsh environments, should consider a different product.

USB 3.0 interface decision

The drive uses a USB 3.0 connection rated at 5Gbps, which determines the maximum transfer speed you can achieve. If your system only offers USB 2.0 ports the drive will still work but at the lower bandwidth. This interface is the single specification that decides whether the drive matches your performance expectations.
