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.

I use these 1TB drives for storing each year of my photographs in triplicate. They have been reliable with no failures to date. The lack of need for a separate power chord is a big plus.

No problems. It is quiet. I use it to back up a new Apple 13.3 MacBook Air M1 Chip with Retina Display using Time Machine. It works great and the backups are fast. I highly recommend it.

strong vibration of the body from the rotation of the spindle

Easy to use. Fast. Compact and light weight. I use them constantly to store all of my photo files, and keep one in my safe deposit box (on a rotation schedule) at all times — it’s small size makes it easy. I did have one crash on me recently after two years of hard use, but I didn’t hesitate to replace it with an identical model.

I needed to replace my first photo backup external hard drive as it was over 5 years old. The Passport Ultra is a good because it run off the computer’s power. I had enough space left over to backup all my videos too!

I ordered several of these.. including 3 I believe, from B&H.. I use these HDs for archiving files. They get very little use, and just sit in a dry, cool place, and I have seen most of these fail on me. None of them mount quickly. I have to wait several minutes while the light is flashing, but no HD is appearing on my desktop. I have all of these formatted for my Mac BTW.. They should mount faster than that. Most of them have slowed waaaaaaaay down in their ability to upload data, by at least 50% slower if not 90% in some.. than the HDs that I replaced these with, which are the: WD 4TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive (2019, Sky) -those are much better, they are fast, retain their speed, mount quickly.. I have them formatted the same exact way, and I just want to transfer all the data from the old ones, and smash them with a hammer, which would be very satisfying..! Crap…! These are absolutely crap..!

Bought this drive to backup 1.5TB of files. Quick easy startup with onboard files. Like the USB 3 functionality for added speed. No regrets.

I like the size and portability compared to other back up drive and is fast enough to video editing. Seem durable but I have only had it for a month

I can highly recommend the WD Passport series of external hard drives. They have proven to be reliable and trouble free. They are also an excellent value.

I purchased this hard drive on sale for $. I’ve been using a WD Elements 1TB external hard drive that requires a power adapter for years and years now and it was time for some additional storage.Haven’t used it much yet since I’m just starting to fill it up but it’s small, portable, sleek, and a great value.

This was my first hard drive in this smaller size and I like it a lot. It has worked well for a few weeks now, I added about 1TB of data to it to send to a friend and it gave no problems, didn’t get too warm, and was very quiet. Price was excellent too!
