Capacity and compatibility
The drive offers 18TB of storage space for archiving complete system backups and multimedia libraries. Using the exFAT format for both Windows and Mac eliminates compatibility issues when transferring files between the two platforms. The exFAT file system formatting makes it ready for immediate use with Windows 10+ and macOS 11+ operating systems.
Hardware data encryption
Integrated technology protects your stored files from unauthorised access. The drive uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption, which is activated by setting a password in the included software. All encryption operations run directly on the drive's hardware, so they don't slow down your computer's performance. Without the correct password, the data remains inaccessible.
Automatic backups and ransomware protection
The included Acronis True Image for Western Digital software is used to automate backup schedules. The tool also includes features for active protection against ransomware attacks to prevent data loss. You can schedule regular backups of entire disk partitions or just selected files and folders, strengthening the protection of your applications and the entire system.
