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.

Nothing standout remarkable here but what is there seems solid and runs just quickly enough to not feel slow. If it remains stable over time I will be please with the purchase.

Simply a really good external drive. I reformatted to MAC and took off creating a drive full of client image as a year end summary! They love it and and it’s an inexpensive and compact drive. Have not had a problem with any of mine.

We use these hard drives to backup files from the past years and past clients. These are our go to backup drives and we own many of them. They travel well, are consistent and relatively fast. Also, they aren’t very expensive, so we don’t feel so bad having so many.

Works good – hard to tell how long it will run, but easy initial set up for PC and easy to wipe and reformat to work w/ a Mac using disk utility.

I like it so very much. It uploaded in an hour what I had failed to upload on another external hard drive in more than 24 hours.

Worth the money. Easy to use, the only concern was setting it up for Macbook. You need to make sure that you format it before using it on Apple devices.

WD external hard drives rule. So easy to use and reliable as can be. It’s a no-hassle no-brainer to go with WD. And the 5TB is not too chunky, either. The USB 3.0 makes it easy to use with my Mac.

This hard drive is a good buy for the money. It works well, has a nice design and is very small. I am satisfied with this drive for what it’s being used for, but there is one issue I have with it.The main problem I have with this hard drive is the time it takes to become ready when it comes out of sleep or stand-by mode. Given this is a bus powered hard drive, it enters sleep mode after minutes of inactivity. I have a smiliar drive, the Western Digital Elements 1TB drive, and whenever it enters sleep mode it only takes 4-6 seconds to become ready. With this drive, WD Passport Ultra, it takes anywhere from 15-20 seconds. This issue is problematic for me since I need quick access to my files. It is not a serious issue, but it can get frustrating over time.Other than that problem, the drive performs nicely. The transfer speed via USB 3.0 is good (anywhere from 40-80MBps) and its size is great.

This is a nice little hard drive, and is perfect for someone like me that likes to make regular backups of my computer. It’s USB powered so there’s no wall wart to deal with, and it is as quiet as can be. Good to have something that’s not overly complicated.

I use these drives when shooting larger events and need to dump files to my laptop on site and bring back home to work on my larger/faster iMac. Small in size, large in capacity and that fact that it gets it’s power from the computer without the need for a separate power cord makes them a perfect storage tool for someone on the go. Pick one up and you won’t regret it.

This little brick has been a lifesaver! After my Macbook Pro died, it temporarily resuscitated and I was able to retrieve all my files–which are now being used on both my Windows systems and my Chromebook. The size is great, as it fits right in my pocket, and it has been wonderfully efficient.
