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 My Passport Ultra disk works great with my Macbook pro. The USB 3.0 connection is fast. There is plenty of room for my photos. I am semi-professional photographer and I shoot in RAW. Each of my Photoshop files reach up to 500mb. So this serves me for my ever growing needs.

Software was annoying, it’s a little hard to figure out how to password protect the hard drive, and the hard drive should have come with some kind of case/pouch. But it works fine. And the design is attractive.

As usual from B&H the drive arrive quickly and works perfectly. As well if not better then advertised. I’ve been using it continually since it arrived and it hasn’t missed beat.

I mostly use this when I have a special project or am traveling and need a backup. Haven’t really used it a lot but I’ve had no bugs or problems. Seem to work fast and quite user-friendly.

This is much faster than my old Passport drive and just as easy to setup and use. Great drive.

Western Digital has always been the best in my experience for hard drives.

So far I’m really liking the drive. The size is decently portable and it does have quite a bit of space. It’s a tad slow, but somewhat expected for a drive of this class. I used the backup software which seems to run smoothly enough, but only time will tell if it works. I hope this will last me for quite a few years.

As usual BH during the time of crisis has proven beyond their customer service expertise. Product arrived on time and shipped professionaly.

Have been using it now for about 3 weeks and it is quick enough to hold all of my photos and easily transfer on and off them as I need to edit them. The only gotcha is that if you are using this on a Mac you need to reformat the drive for HFS.

I needed a space to put my photographs and this works really well. Fast. Left it plugged into a USB 2 port, no problems.

I’ve been using these WD passport drives for years without issue. They’re fast and reliable. I use them in pairs as temporary backup drives to work from with full backup on a NAS. Great little drives, WD has these much improved aesthetically and overall performance wise over the years

Good size Portable HD that comes with different colours. Good capacity for backups etc. Only con is that contact with USB connection was not so good with my specific product and quiet often It shows as it is disconnected from the laptop, and had to reconnect.

Great disks for time machine back up. Now I can keep one off site and cycle the two disks.

I’m a professional wedding photographer and use my portable HD to back weddings up- especially when traveling. Since I’m a location based photographer- this comes in VERY handy. I have 3 other WD HD’s and I love the easy functionality and dependability of them. It is also light, small, compact, and self-powered, which is great when I’m not by a power source other than my laptop. I feel the price is spot-on, and what I would expect to pay when depending on something to hold and store something so precious- like wedding pictures. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs something portable, as a back-up, or just extra space for storage.
