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 am an advanced senior citizen without grandchildren to help me, so computer stuff does not come easy. However, I researched these external hard drives and decided that this WD Passport had great reviews and everybody said it was easy to connect. I was expecting that it would take me most of the day to get it connected and operating, but it took only about 15 minutes. It works great! Wow, maybe I will try something else now.

I have bought 6 of these units and I have 2 left, and all the previous 4 failed. They start Clicking… and nothing can restore them… Absolute Garbage..!!

Haven’t had it for too long, but it’s been great so far. Easy to format, fast write speeds, and does what it’s built to do!

3tb in a compact package without a plug in power supply. Unit is silent, stay’s cool, and works well. I’m using it attached to a USB 2 connection and it probably runs as fast as can be expected. I’m surt that it would be much faster connected through a USB 3 connection. I’m using it to back up photo files, so speed isn’t really a consideration for me. So far no problems.

Finally have a portable drive with enough capacity to back up all my images and files. Just wish it had the USB 3.1/Thunderbolt interface (vs. its USB 3.0) so the backup would be quicker.

Should have taken the advantage of the holiday sales on it buying three instead of just two. Works as expected on this model. Nice to use for backing up files, small with coded password. I have been a faithful BH customer for decades. Great outfit! I have my oldest and the youngest two kids who are interested in photography buying from them too. Thanks.

I use it for back-up and storage of my pictures and music. It is a good portable hard drive and for the price I think I got a good deal.

I was drawn to this item because it was sleek and white and had the capacity I was looking for! It was easy to reformat for exFAT (for use on both PC and Mac) and was delighted at how easily my huge photo files were downloaded to this petite external hard drive. From now on, it’s the only brand I’m using!

5TB is what everyone needs. And they’re cheaper now because of Bitcoin mining.

This was by far the least expensive per GB. Very easy to set up and use. The only reason for 4 stars (instead of 5) is that the software installs 3 separate programs instead of one: (1) security; (2) settings; (3) backup.

So far it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. I am the little concerned about how tight the fit is between the cable and the hard drive have decided to leave he connected all the time.

I was able to transfer 2.5 TB in hours as opposed to a day or so. The processor on this is great and it connects to my home sharing devices with ease. As always B&H provides the fastest, most reliable service around.

I’m using this on an old, and HEAVY HP 17.3 laptop. Needless to say, anything that;s added to the laptop bag takes up a lot of room and adds weight to the laptop bag. This drive is small and lightweight. Performance-wise, it’s pretty fast. Sometimes, cloning (with Acronis) can take a long time, especially since my drive is about 3/4 full. I would definitely buy this again AND I probably will, to backup my desktop at home.
