Key specs at a glance

Figures come from retailer listings of WD's My Passport range. WD also sells an Elements range, which is simpler and lacks the My Passport's encryption software. Your supplier list gives only the brand and capacity, so ask our team to confirm the exact model, colour and warranty of the unit you order.

This is a hard drive, not an SSD

It's worth being clear about this. A portable hard drive (HDD) stores data on spinning disks. Compared with a portable SSD, it is slower, heavier, noisier in use and more sensitive to knocks while running, but it gives you far more storage for the money. For backups, archives and large media libraries, that trade-off is worth it. For speed and toughness, see the SanDisk portable SSDs in our range.

Is 2TB the right size for you?

A 2TB drive suits a family photo and video library, a laptop backup with room to spare, or a modest film and music collection.

Who it's for

Families keeping photos and videos in one place.

Creators with growing libraries.

Anyone backing up more than one device.

How it compares

The 2TB version is often the best value per terabyte. Pick it if 1TB feels tight and you don't need 4TB.

Looking after a hard drive

• Avoid moving or knocking it while it's reading or writing.
• Always eject it safely before unplugging.
• For important files, keep a second copy, because any drive can fail.
