Portable 6 TB external hard drive
This Western Digital My Passport model provides 6 TB of storage in a 2.5 inch form factor that fits in a bag or pocket. It is aimed at anyone who needs to carry large photo, video or document libraries between locations without relying on cloud upload speeds.
6 TB capacity with USB 3.1 and 3.0 connectivity
The drive holds up to 6 TB of data and connects through USB 3.1 or USB 3.0 ports for broad compatibility with current laptops and desktops. Transfer rates will be limited by the mechanical drive and the USB interface, so very large batch moves may take noticeable time.
Bus-powered design with included backup software
Power comes directly from the USB port, so no external adapter is required and cable clutter stays minimal. The package includes Acronis True Image for Western Digital software that adds ransomware-aware backup and password-protected hardware encryption. Buyers who need faster solid-state speeds or multiple drive bays should consider other form factors.
