The WD My Book 12TB external drive is designed for storing and backing up large amounts of data with its 12TB capacity. As a 3.5" HDD desktop storage solution, it requires a stable spot on your desk, where it frees up space on your computer's internal drive and acts as a central archive for your digital files. It requires a constant power supply from the mains using the included external AC adapter. It connects to your computer via a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface for transferring and managing files.
Password protection and the included software protect your private files from unauthorised access. The drive uses built-in 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which encodes data directly at the hardware level. This process runs independently of the computer's operating system and does not strain its processing power. The encryption is always active and helps protect your data even if the drive is physically stolen.
The package includes Acronis True Image for Western Digital software. This tool simplifies scheduling automatic backups of your entire system or just selected folders. You can set regular intervals for the process to run in the background without user intervention. The software also actively protects your system against ransomware and helps restore data from an uncorrupted backup in the event of a malware attack.
Factory formatting to the exFAT file system eliminates the need for further adjustments when switching between different platforms. The WD My Book 12TB external drive can therefore connect to both Windows and macOS computers for instant file transfers. The package contains everything you need to get started, including a power adapter and a SuperSpeed USB-A data cable.
