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.

It work perfectly as a back up disk drive 🙂

So far so good. It does its job…plus it’s raspberry colored. 3 TB…this year’s backup for last year’s files…and each year the capacity goes up but the price remains constant…a dream come true.

I use these for backing up field shoots. Very fast and have had no failures. I have 11 of these.

The only reason that I am giving this drive a four (4) star rating instead of a five (5), is that I have not had this drive long enough to know if it will make it the distance… Having siad that, it works great (note, I deleted all the contents of this drive when purchased, as I am using purely as a video drive (movies)).

I bought this drive to back up my laptop because my hard drive was failing and had to be replaced. I was hoping to do a complete image (clone) of my existing drive. The software that comes with this unit does not have that function. Otherwise the unit works well to back up docs,photos, etc.

Hello, Got this to backup a 2TB drive on my desktop. It is USB 3.0. I did a one time back up of 1.4TB. Was on a USB 3 port, ran at anywhere from 3 to 5 GB/ min. Use to be 25 gb, 25 min. Not with this, it flew. Nice size and feel to it. This is my second drive, my first one I carry with my laptop to have a complete set of home data. Never had one drop of trouble with either drive.

Since my 2TB Seagate crashed on a trip … with lots of photos … I decided to buy 2 of the 1TB size … and make my photos are always backed up. So far … the WD external HD’s are working and saving photo files … but ALL hard drives can fail … make sure you have a back up!

The 1.5TB tends to be around 1.37TB when you actually plug it in but its because it has all this extra and useful software Western Digital supplies like Drive Utilities, Security and SmartWare. Did I mention it connects with your Dropbox online? 3.0 USB transfer speed is next to none! It doesn’t have a power switch which isn’t THAT bad but it would be useful. All in all, just buy it already!

I bought two more of these passports during their last sale. The HD itself works quite well with about 100+MB/s average read/write speeds. I now own 3 2tb passports one of which is already 2 years old and still performing the same as when I purchased it. With this purchase I received one dead passport that would not show up in device manager. This is bound to happen eventually when purchasing any electronics, so I see no reason to fault anyone for that. I contacted B&H and initiated the RMA process. They paid for return shipping and sent a new one out as soon as they received the old one. The package arrived at my home only 1 day after they received my dead drive. The RMA process was fast,painless, and quite simply a breeze compared to many other major online retailers, with very few questions asked. I wrote this review because I am sure there are others like me who hesitate every time they make an online purchase because returns are notoriously painful with many online retailers and often like to pin the blame for a product not working on the consumer. However, I am happy to report B&H has a painless process and I will sleep easy knowing so when I order from them in the future.

I bought this for photo file back up as I do extensive landscape photography. Basically plug and play, the first file uploaded perfectly with no hassles. Also I like the compact size.

As far as a backup device, it’s fine. Hardware is easy to install but the software interface leaves much to be desired. The manual is laughable. I think Obamacare works better. You have to make many guesses about what to do. But once up and running it takes care of itself.I’m using it to back up my ENTIRE C: drive but there are a handful of files it cannot back up because they are constantly in use. If you are looking for a bootable mirror image of your C: drive then use a RAID.Initially it took overnight to back up the C: drive.

WD hard drives are the only drives that have never crashed on me, they start up quickly, and are always a value. A simple and rugged choice for backing up your work or using it to store files you will be working on.

I bought two of these because they were on sale. For the price, they are not bad hard drives.

works ok but needs more power than standard hub can provide
