In response to the growing demand for digital storage solutions, Western Digital has announced an expansion of its portable HDD lineup, introducing the world’s highest capacity 2.5” portable HDDs. This update includes the WD My Passport, WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive, and SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD, all now available with 6TB capacities.
6 TB in a compact form factor is pretty nifty and will work great for professionals who work in photography and videography, or even just an average user making a backup of their files.
WD My Passport
The WD My Passport hard drive line now offers up to 6TB of storage, allowing users to store and back up extensive digital collections with ease. Featuring a modern metal design and equipped with USB-C technology, the My Passport Ultra drive combines convenience and style. It also includes 256-bit AES hardware encryption to keep data secure. Available in various colours, it caters to a range of personal styles.
- Pricing and Availability: The 6TB WD My Passport retails for A$299.00 MSRP, and the WD My Passport for Mac retails for A$309.00 MSRP. Both will be available in Australia from October 2024 at select retailers, e-tailers, and the Western Digital Store.
WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive
Designed for gamers, the WD_BLACK P10 Game Drive now offers 6TB of storage, capable of holding up to 150 games (depending on games’ size).
