The newly created cohesive design language is developed to help make a connection between the device and user, the new drives also include password protection and hardware encryption for customers to love their hard drive as much as they cherish the content stored on it. In partnership with fuseproject, an award-winning industrial design and branding firm, the reimagined products were built with the customer in mind.

“Western Digital is leading with the idea that design can bring a personal touch to our digital life. Our endeavor is to add value through our products consistently and this time also our team has gone ahead of the curve with elevating design quotient on the new My Passport and My Book drives to enhance user-experience”, said Khalid Wani, Director - Content Solutions Business, India, Middle East and Africa, Western Digital. “The newly reimagined design language is meant to amplify our personal connection to data. As the data use is drastically evolving and has become an integral part of our lives, we aim to focus on reiterating the importance of personalizing data solutions that excite people while preserving and cherishing their precious memories.”

“The way we use data is changing; it’s becoming much more of a personal commodity, something we value,” says Yves Béhar, founder and Principal Designer at fuseproject. “Western Digital lies at the intersection of our physical life and the digital world, and we wanted to create a quality aesthetic that symbolizes this intersection.”

As part of the reimagined design, the My Passport drives will come in four vivid colors – Black, Red, White and Blue – while still providing reliable portable storage that perfectly complements an on-the-go lifestyle.
