Review: Be aware that the clever SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) system used to make this drive compact and affordable, with fewer platters, results in erratic and generally slow data transfer speed. And then there is the issue of Western Digital Software. I assumed I needed to run the WD software (included on disk) to get the advertised encryption. A window opened which said "Connecting" and stayed open for a long time--two or three minutes, even though I have a fast internet connection. What was going on, I do not know. Finally I was given the "install" option. It asked if I would allow it to send usage data to WD. I said no. Another "Connecting" window opened. Finally I got tired of waiting and also somewhat concerned about the drive's activity, so I aborted the installation. But when I checked Task Manager, WD software was still listed as active, and the LED in the drive was still flashing. I ended the WD process, and then finally the LED stopped flashing. What was going on? I have no idea. I cannot believe that WD would be making money out of customer data so that it can reduce the price of its drives. ## Features - Thin and durable drive to take your important files with you. - Large capacities up to 6TB to store your photos, videos, music, important documents etc. - Backup more efficiently with included device management software and ransomware protection. - Protect your important files with password protection and hardware encryption. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B086W5JQT5 | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 60,744 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 222 in External Hard Drives | | Brand | WD | | Colour | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (104) | | Date First Available | 13 April 2024 | | Form Factor | 2.5-inch | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 1 | | Hard Drive Interface | USB 2.0/3.0 | | Hard Drive Size | 1 TB | | Hardware Platform | PC, Mac | | Item Weight | 122 g | | Item model number | WDBYVG0010BRD-WESN | | Manufacturer | Western Digital Technologies, Inc. | | Product Dimensions | 3.1 x 7.49 x 1.12 cm; 122.47 g | | Series | My Passport External Hard Drive | ## Product Details - **Brand:** WD - **Colour:** Red - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Laptop, Tablet - **Connectivity technology:** USB - **Digital storage capacity:** 1 TB - **Hard disk description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard disk form factor:** 2.5 Inches - **Hard disk interface:** USB 2.0/3.0 - **Installation type:** External Hard Drive - **Special feature:** Hardware Encryption, Portable ## Images ![WD My Passport WDBYVG0010BRD-WESN 1TB Portable External Hard Drive with Backup and Ransomware Protection Software Password Protection USB 3.1/USB 3.0 Compatible - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Bmo0GFdsL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Windows 8.1 won't be getting security updates in 2023-Can Passport still be used to back up files & pictures from a windows 8.1 laptop?** A: My best guess would be that it will continue to back up. Passport backs up files, etc that are presented to it, it probably query the operating system re: updates or no updates. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on 10 January 2026* Nice backup drive for a home computer. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***T on 16 January 2024* Be aware that the clever SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) system used to make this drive compact and affordable, with fewer platters, results in erratic and generally slow data transfer speed.
