Description
Expand the storage on your Windows system and back up photos, video, music, and documents using the silver 1TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type-C External Hard Drive from WD. This drive is equipped with 1TB of storage and a USB 3.0 Type-C interface. If your computer doesn’t have a USB Type-C port, an included USB Type-C to Type-A adapter helps ensure compatibility with older systems. This drive is also bus-powered, meaning that all its power is provided by the USB cable and no external power cables or adapters are required.
Since WD designed this My Passport Ultra drive for Windows, it comes preformatted NTFS for Windows 10, 8.1, and 7. If you happen to work across both Windows and Mac platforms, WD provides a downloadable NTFS driver for macOS, which enables the reading and writing of this My Passport Ultra drive without any reformatting. Or, make it fully Mac compatible with a simple reformat. Thanks to a 256-bit AES hardware encryption chip, your private files are kept more secure.

As an IT Customer Support expert, this is the only portable HD I recommend to my clients. I’ve personally used 3 for work, and countless customers have purchased these with no complaints in over 2 years. They all continue to work flawlessly. This is my 4th, and I expect that it will outlast both of my current computers. The speed and reliability are unmatched, and it looks great too! Very compact, sleek design, quiet. Everyone needs at least one of these to have peace of mind that their data is backed up safely. Western Digital makes data backup worry-free.

it really is small for 5 tb. however, it is not a full 5tb, (its closer to 4.5) also, transferring from another external harddrive is slow. also, its not too fast to transfer 4gb directly from the hard drive in the computer.it could take a whole day to transfer that much info….

I used this to backup user data when installing a new computer. It worked perfectly, everything went smoothly, and the data transfer was just what I needed.

I had to reformat it for my Macbook Pro but it was definitely worth it! Fast transfer speed and large storage to keep all my photos, videos and documents! Plus Really fast shipping to Canada! Great buy.

Backing up our files. Great device.

It’s not the fastest drive, but it holds a lot of 1’s and 0’s. I use it for backup of big video files. It takes about twice as long to transfer to then a raided drive, but it’s also smaller and bus powered.
Abel Farrell (verified owner) –
The hard drive required an Internet connection and a submission or your email address to use the drive. Annoying. I sent it back.

Plugging in the drive ran the software and started backing up. No sweat!

Pluged it and started using the HDD for back ups. It has a fast transfer rate with USB 3, personally would like a thunderbolt port, however, it is limited by the HDD speed rather than by the USB transfer rate.

Compact, compatible, speedy & reliable.

I bought this as a project drive. I have 3 active projects on the drive. I usually get drives with multiple ports incase something happens, but all of the Passport drives I’ve owned, I’ve never had that problem. They are fast to load onto a computer, I can edit 4K ProRes without proxy’s.

This is an easy and economical way to back up any hard drive. Easy set up and operation. Definately a good choice for easy backups.
Samson Ernser (verified owner) –
I love this one as its fast and easy and I even like the feel of it. Its not going on 3 months and I love how compact and easy to use and, DID I SAY FAST! You wont be disappointed with this drive!

I bought this drive to backup my laptops loaded with Window 7 and Windows 8.1. Just plug the drive into a USB 2 or 3 port and in a few seconds it’s ready. I’ve created a system image as well as a copy of my user files. I haven’t used the included backup software so I really can’t comment about it. It’s small, light and comes with its own pouch and cable. They’re fairly inexpensive so I bought a couple of them. I’ve only had them for a couple of weeks so I really can’t talk about their predicted reliability. I keep them on a cool metal surface when they’re running just to keep them cool.

When debating to upgrade my 500 MB Passport I knew I was looking at at least 2 TB of storage and a USB 3.0 powered portable external hard drive.Like my other Passport, this is a solid build and will be connected to my laptop unless I need to take it somewhere. Very unobtrusive. Love the color. Not sure if for the extra money it’s worth the cloud storage, but it is slick.If you’re looking for benchmarks, here they are:———————————————————————–CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2013 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s Sequential Read : 111.920 MB/s Sequential Write : 107.535 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 40.201 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 55.535 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.534 MB/s 130.4 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 1.324 MB/s 323.2 IOPS Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.582 MB/s 142.0 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 1.358 MB/s 331.4 IOPS Test : 1000 MB G: 0.0% (0.4/1863.0 GB) (x5) Date : 2013/08/25 21:39:14 OS : Windows 7 Home Premium Edition SP1 6.1 Build 7601 (x64)I love having an external hard drive power through the USB port. The Essentials line was a little cumbersome trying to plug things in with all the other devices out there.Look forward to backing up my system, my 18,000 songs,am still having close to a terabyte left for years to come.
