16 Terabytes of Backup, Locked Behind Your Password
Back up a whole digital life to one drive and keep it private. The WD My Book 16TB is a desktop external hard drive with room for millions of photos, hundreds of hours of video, or years of documents, and built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption to lock it all behind a password you set. It plugs into a Windows PC or Mac over USB and works with WD Backup and Apple Time Machine to save your files automatically. Browse more Western Digital storage or other hard drives.
How It Works
The My Book is a desktop drive, so it sits on a desk on its own AC power rather than drawing from your computer, which is what lets it hold 16TB in a compact upright body. Plug it into a USB port and it is ready to use out of the box. WD Backup schedules automatic backups on Windows, and the drive is Time Machine compatible on Mac, so your files copy over without you thinking about it. Turn on WD Security to set a password and switch on 256-bit AES hardware encryption, and use WD Discovery to import photos and files from services like Dropbox and Google Drive. WD Drive Utilities handles diagnostics and drive management.
