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.

The external hard drive is compact and has lots of storage space. I’ve backed up nearly two years worth of photos into the unit and freed up space on my computer hard drive.

No kidding…I am a big fan of Western Digital drives and this one is no exception. It’s 1 TB, but actually a little smaller in physical size. The drive has been running wonderfully and fast. I do like it.

This is my second WD Passport, the last was bought in 2007 and is still working great, though only 160 gigs. New drive has a fast transfer and looks to be solidly built.

Solid unit works fine. Wish it was a bit smaller in size to make it more portable and less heavy. Otherwise, it is very good.

I’ve been using the 1, 2 and 3TB versions of this drive for years, I have at least 6 of them. I edit HD video with Premiere Pro directly from the drive and notice no speed issues. I should also knock wood, especially after writing this review, because I have never had one fail.

As shown in the description, this is worth the price. small in the size and built material is good too. It is shame that prize of this increased $20 within 5 months since I purchased

Xbox one memory was really low wiyh the sad 500gb they give you so did some research and like the reviews for this 2tb drive, Took about 2 min from unpacking it to formatting and it was recognized by xbox one and working, this review is about 2 1/2 weeks after purchase and no problems. Worth it, xbox recommends a specific external brand but I think its just because they have a deal with seagate.

Great price and performance for portable drives. Robust too. Plays 4K footage like a breeze if you machine is up to snuff.

I bought this to clear up space on both PC and Laptop. This holds everything and then some. I have plenty of space to add more to it. I will be purchasing another one for my photography. I haven’t found anything that I am not happy with.

This hard drive allows me to backup my important files, such as photos and music. I had a computer crash, without these saved items, I would have lost a lot of personal family photos and history.
