It is a basic drive with no bundled software or encryption, and it ships NTFS-formatted for Windows; reformat to exFAT or a Mac format for full macOS use or Time Machine.

Technical Specifications
Frequently Asked Questions
Singular Expert Insight
At 12TB the Elements Desktop is one of the most cost-effective ways to add large bulk storage at a desk: 3.5-inch desktop drives give far more capacity per euro than portable drives. If you want built-in hardware encryption and backup software, the WD My Book is the step up; if you need redundancy, a RAID storage appliance is better. For affordable, stationary high-capacity storage, though, this is excellent value, complementing any portable hard drive you carry day to day.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You want large, affordable 12TB desktop storage for backups and archives, prefer plug-and-play with no software, and do not need to carry it around.
Skip it if
You need a portable, bus-powered drive, SSD speed, RAID redundancy, or hardware encryption — this is a single mains-powered desktop HDD.
Also consider
The WD My Book for encryption and backup software, a NAS for redundancy, or a portable drive for travel.
