The app provides features like drive monitoring, firmware updates, device registration, and access to WD's cloud services. It's primarily used by owners of Western Digital external hard drives, SSDs, and network-attached storage devices to keep their hardware updated and properly configured. The app also serves as a central hub for accessing other WD utilities and services related to data backup and drive management.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionWD Discovery has been discontinued by Western Digital as of July 31, 2025, with no Apple Silicon-native version ever released. The search results confirm that even the latest versions remained Intel-only applications that required Rosetta 2 translation. Western Digital has ended support entirely and the app is no longer available for download. For basic drive management tasks, you can use macOS's built-in Disk Utility, which is fully native on Apple Silicon. For more advanced features like firmware updates, you'll need to check Western Digital's website directly for newer, web-based tools or contact their support for current solutions.
