Western Digital 6TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (Red)

The Western Digital WDBR9S0060BRD-WESN is a My Passport external hard drive that gives you 6TB of portable storage, ready to keep large photo libraries, 4K videos, music collections, and project files in one place. Because it is formatted for Windows out of the box, you can plug it in and start moving files right away; if you use macOS, Linux, or a game console, a quick reformat is all that is needed.

File transfers move quickly through the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface, which supports data rates up to 5 Gb/s. Power travels through the same micro-USB to USB-A cable, so there is no separate power brick to pack. Slip the drive into a backpack or laptop sleeve and work from a client site, classroom, or café without hunting for an outlet.

Your data stays private thanks to built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption. Set a password through the included WD Discovery software and only you can unlock the contents. The same software lets you schedule automatic backups, giving extra peace of mind for important documents and creative work. Western Digital backs the drive with a three-year limited warranty for additional confidence.

The enclosure uses more than fifty percent post-consumer recycled plastic and has a slim profile that fits comfortably in one hand. Photographers who need to offload memory cards on location, students who juggle coursework across multiple computers, and gamers looking to expand console storage will all appreciate a drive that travels easily yet stores so much.
