Format, capacity and compatibility

Product / part IDWD My Passport SSD, grey, 2 TB, WDBAGF0020BGY-WESN
InterfaceUSB 3.2 Gen 2, USB Type-C, backward compatible with supported earlier USB hosts.
PerformanceUp to 1,050 MB/s read and 1,000 MB/s write per WD's published maximums. Host link, supplied cable, file pattern, thermal state and cache affect actual performance.
NAND / enduranceWD's cited consumer materials do not publish NAND type or a TBW value for this external SKU.
CompatibilityUSB data connection required. WD lists Windows and macOS compatibility; filesystem reformatting may be required when moving between operating systems or appliances. Peak rate needs a USB 3.2 Gen 2 host.
Encryption / SKU caveatWD lists password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption for this family. Preserve recovery credentials separately; encryption does not prevent device failure or data loss.

Handling and preservation

Keep an independent backup before reformatting, retain the SKU and encryption recovery information, and safely eject before removal. Test capacity and checksums, then periodically restore a sample. Drop resistance and hardware encryption do not make the drive a durable single-copy archive.
