Product details

Five terabytes in a drive that still disappears into a bag pocket. This black My Passport is the high-capacity end of WD's slim portable line, with Acronis True Image backup software and ransomware defense for scheduled, set-and-forget backups of a whole gaming rig. Password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption keeps the contents private if the drive ever walks off, and it all runs over a single USB 3.2 Gen 1 cable with no power brick. Backed by WD's 3-year limited warranty.

Five terabytes is the top of the classic My Passport range in black, and it changes what a portable drive is for. Instead of shuttling a few files, this becomes the master archive that travels: full backups of two or three machines, a complete game library, a creator's finished-project vault and years of captures, in a 2.5-inch enclosure that still runs entirely off one USB cable — no power brick, even at this capacity.

The working pattern it suits is consolidation. Rather than three half-full drives with hand-written labels, keep one indexed vault: plug it in at the desk for scheduled Acronis True Image for Western Digital backups with ransomware defense, and carry it when the whole archive needs to move — a studio visit, a LAN weekend, or the off-site rotation that turns a backup into a real backup strategy.

Concentrating that much data in one pocketable drive is exactly why the security layer matters: password protection backed by 256-bit AES hardware encryption keeps a lost drive from becoming a breach. This 5TB black model measures 107.2 by 75 by 19.2 millimeters, weighs 0.21 kilograms, and is covered by a 3-year limited warranty.
