The WD My Book (WDBBGB0160HBK) is a 16TB desktop external hard drive with always-on 256-bit AES hardware encryption and password protection, built for anyone who needs large, secure backup and archive storage at their desk.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the encryption hardware or software based?
It is 256-bit AES hardware encryption, always on and built into the drive controller. You simply set a password with WD Security to protect access.
Does the My Book need its own power supply?
Yes. As a 3.5-inch desktop drive it uses the included mains power adapter rather than USB bus power, so it is designed to sit on your desk.
Does it work with Mac?
It ships NTFS-formatted for Windows. For full read and write on macOS or for Time Machine, reformat it to exFAT or APFS. WD software is available for both platforms.
What do I need to know before buying the My Book?
It is a high-capacity desktop backup drive with built-in encryption and WD software, mains-powered and best suited to stationary backup rather than travel.
Singular Expert Insight
The My Book is WD's go-to secure desktop backup drive, and the built-in hardware encryption sets it apart from plain expansion drives — your data is protected by a password with no performance penalty. It is a single-drive unit, so unlike the two-bay My Book Duo it has no RAID redundancy; if you want mirrored protection, step up to a RAID storage appliance. For secure single-drive backup at a desk, though, the My Book is a dependable, high-value choice.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You need large 16TB desktop backup with built-in hardware encryption and password protection, plus easy WD backup software.
Skip it if
You need RAID redundancy (get a My Book Duo or NAS), a portable drive to carry, or SSD speed — this is a single mains-powered desktop HDD.
Also consider
The My Book Duo for RAID mirroring, a portable drive for travel, or a different capacity My Book if 16TB is more or less than you need.
