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.

very good and handy

I always turn to WD for my storage needs, as their products can always be relied.on. Supet fast, low profile, and b and h was even able to match best buy’s cheaper price!

Great lightweight drive for backup. Removed all the added software to maximize disk size. Saved the software in case of future use.

Great external drive for storing photos. Very fast access speed. And as always B&H service was excellent and fast shipping even though the holidays.

Great drive for quick back-ups. I keep it in my bag to always have it on-hand. Upon arrival, I reformatted to ExFAT (on my Mac)so it will read/write on a Mac and PC. The only limitation is the PC has a 2GB file limit.

I bought this 5TB Passport Ultra to provide backups for my new MacBook Pro and for transferring some of my necessary information from my previous MacBook Pro to my new one. It’s very easy to use and did exactly what I needed it for.

I use the hard drive for backup of my McBookAir. There is no problem with the disk but there is problem with TimeMacine which more often than not cannot crete directory for the backup. This is not the drive, this is the Apple OS.

Got this when I purchased my 24-70 2.8 for free! It’s a great little portable HD with tons of space! What else could you ask for? For free?!?!

I own 2 of these drives and am using this one for video storage. As anyone working with video knows – you need space, and this device provides. USB 3.0 support is great. WD knows HDDs and their portable drives are more than capable.

Love this product. Great for backup from the field to the studio. I can shoot all day at different locations and have it backed up for safety. Saves wear and tear on camera gear from downloading.

I got this to replace a WD 2TB backup drive; the footprint of this drive is the same as my 2TB, but t’s a tiny bit thicker. I’ve only had this for a couple weeks so I can’t comment on long-term reliability, but so far it performs as expected: it’s fast (for a small USB drive), quiet, and doesn’t run hot (to touch) when copying a large number of files at once.

Great portable HDD for a great price. Have no reason to complain and looking forward to using this for a long long time.

It is to back up my Sony A7ii digital camera photos

I use this hard drive for every day storage of photos and files. Its lightweight, love the white color option and amazing price point.
Nettie Walker (verified owner) –
This device is pretty easy to use once you understand the software and how it works — I’ve a fairly decent basic technical knowledge and I had a little trouble, but now all is great thanks to the amazing technical assistance at B&H!
Alaina Schmitt (verified owner) –
As videographer, I like to use these for archival purposes. The file read/write time is sufficiently fast. It is small and light and very portable

I am a fan of Western Digital, but the last external I had was a few years old and was always quite slow. However, after doing my research, I found this My Passport HDD had a good capacity (1TB) to form factor proportion, has USB 3.0, AND comes with the PRO WD software included for under $100 bucks. No other manufacture offers all of that for that price (at least, as of this review). Needless to say, I wanted one and it turns out so did a lot of other people because everywhere it was sold out – even *! B&H was the only place I found them and I had heard good things. I was worried about shipping costs but there was a free option if you could wait a few days and I received my drive as promised. The drive is really fast (of course it will be slower using USB 2.0) and quiet and I love it so far!
