Know before you buy
Yes, the drive is compatible with both operating systems. While it comes formatted for Windows, it can be easily reformatted for use with macOS if needed.
No, this is a bus-powered device. It draws all the necessary power directly from your computer's USB port, making it truly portable.
The drive features 256-bit AES hardware encryption. This keeps your files private by requiring a password to access the data, and because it is hardware-based, it does not slow down your computer's performance.
Yes, the included WD Backup software allows you to set a schedule for automatic backups. Once configured, it will run in the background to ensure your files are protected without manual intervention.
Yes, while it uses the faster USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for quick transfers, it is fully backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, though transfer speeds will be limited to the older standard.
WD Discovery acts as a central hub for managing your drive. It helps you keep your device firmware updated and allows you to connect your social media and cloud storage accounts to import your content directly to the drive.
