2 TB drive with hardware encryption

October 2013 Products & Solutions

WD has announced the availability of its My Passport Slim line of portable hard drives, the first thin drives to offer up to 2 TB capacity, a metal enclosure, and 256-bit hardware-based encryption. The included WD SmartWare Pro data protection software allows users to back up their data to their My Passport Slim and keep an extra copy in their Dropbox account for peace-of-mind. The software also lets users back up their Dropbox account to the My Passport Slim. These features make the My Passport Slim an ideal choice for protecting, storing, and enjoying digital content on the go.

“The new My Passport Slim is ideal for consumers looking for the ultimate in portability. This drive is the slimmest in the My Passport range and features a metal enclosure that provides additional protection, making it the perfect drive for someone on the move,” explains Anamika Budree, branded sales manager at WD South Africa. Available in 1 TB and 2 TB capacities, the My Passport Slim measures a scant 4.33 x 3.14 x 0.48-inches, giving mobile consumers an easy and convenient way to transport their favourite music, movies, photos and documents.

My Passport Slim portable hard drives are protected by a 3-year limited warranty and will be available from the WD store at wdstore.com as well as select retailers and distributors in Q4.
