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.

There’s not much more to say, other than that it it hard to believe that so much hard disc storage can be be crammed into so small a package.

I have 4 of these and they all have remained very reliable and are easy to use. They are the best value for TB per dollar and their compact size makes them easy to store. I didn’t think I’d care that much for the colors that are offered, but it helps me differentiate between my different drives. Highly recommended!

I use it as a back up. It’s very reliable and I own several.

Started up without a hitch and works just fine with Windows 10. I haven’t tried any of the included software.

Works just like a charm. Performs as advertised.

Small size and fast 3.0 write speeds makes this a great drive for image and video storage. So pleased with it I plan to purchase a few more.

so far this Passport Ultra has worked out fine for the Mac….no problems at all.

I get one of these for every project that needs a backup. They are fairly low in cost, fast enough to make some minor video editing changes, and small enough to carry around easily with my laptop.

A little drive that holds a lot.

If you want to save a large amount of data and transport it in an easy way this is the best hard drive you can buy

I use this drive to back up another portable external drive which serves as my primary hard drive. I needed software that allowed this kind of continuous backup. The WD Smartware upgrade (which is free with this purchase) makes this possible allowing me to always have an up-to-the-minute backup. Backup software from two other hardware companies does not support this feature. This is the hard drive to get!

Might be a bit slower than I remember the 1.5 WD Passport being – but still a good and easy to use external, portable hard drive. It looks nice and is solid. I hope I like it – I have two more waiting to be used!

I own several of these portable hard drives for backing up photos. Have performed flawlessly. The read and write speeds are very good.

I am a landscape photographer always looking for more file storage! I bought the WD 2TB Ultra for the road. It literally fits in the palm of my hand making it ideal for traveling. Comes formatted for Windows but the directions for Mac formatting are easy to follow and only takes a few minutes. It is bus powered eliminating a power cord. When connected to my MacBook Pro the USB 3 speed is excellent. I actually bought two as a package. The $$price for a pair is excellent. When working it doesn’t make a sound.

A great compact superfast drive.

This Western Digital 1 TB passport backup drive is great. Pulled it out of the box and was backing up my data within15 minutes. A great drive at a cheap price.

I particularly like the USB-C connector. Previous old USB drives of mine have been so delicate, wiggle them and they blink and get dismounted. This is much better. And, it comes with an adapter to old USB. Cons: BUT, know how USB-C is nice in you can plug it in either way? Well, this stupid adapter only plugs one way. A cheat to save a few cents. And might violate some licensing agreement to de-feature USB-C that way. Bad move. I reformatted to use on Linux as a software encrypted backup.
