Questions & answers

How does the backup work?

The drive comes with Acronis True Image for Western Digital, where you can schedule backups. According to the manufacturer, the software also helps protect against ransomware.

Can I use it with a USB-C computer?

The drive has a Micro-USB B socket, so a computer with only USB-C ports needs a suitable cable or adapter. Whether one is in the box, the manufacturer does not specify.

Does the drive need external power?

No. It takes all the power it needs from the USB port, so no adapter or wall socket is required.
