Western Digital releases 6TB 2.5-inch portable mechanical hard drive

With the rapid growth of data content, larger and more affordable mobile storage devices have become a “must-have” for many. Western Digital recently launched a 6TB 2.5-inch portable mechanical hard drive, currently the largest capacity 2.5-inch portable mechanical hard drive in the world. The WD My Passport portable hard drive series, the WD_BLACK P10 game drive, and the SanDisk Professional G-DRIVE ArmorATD series under Western Digital will be updated with 6TB capacity products, providing more robust solutions for consumers, gamers, and professionals.

“Expanding our portfolio with the world’s first 2.5” 6TB* portable hard drive is an incredible technological achievement, and it enables us to continue pushing the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Nitin Kachhwaha, Director of Product Management at Western Digital. “Offering up to 6TB* in such a small form factor and accessible price point gives everyone—from students, gamers, professional videographers, and more—greater flexibility to create and keep even more of their essential content in one portable drive.”

Specifically, the My Passport series will include the My Passport Ultra and My Passport models. The 6TB version of the My Passport Ultra is priced at $199.99, while the 6TB version of the My Passport is $179.99, and with the addition of a USB-C port, it is priced at $184.99.
