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 bought this 1.5 TB as an archive drive to store vacation photos, music and movies. The drive is priced at a very good value – essentially 1/2 terabyte free!Shipping was free, very fast and B&H packaged it with love which is super important for hard disc drives. Based on this pleasant B&H experience, I will always consider your store for all my relevant online purchases. Thanks B&H for caring!!!

Works as expected. I just use it for storing old files. It is fast and compact. I have another WD HD from a few years ago that still works well, so I expect the same reliability as that one.

I’ve been buying Verbatim DVD+R discs for years and they are always a great price and great quality. No coasters here…

A very good inexpensive method to store and access data both at home and on the road. I have purchased several of these drives and all have worked well. Easy to reformat for use on a MAC.

Plug & drop, no stress. WD should make this feature more clear, as the presence of unneeded software creates unnecessary effort. A small matter, easily remedied.

After trying many, many external drives from multiple brands over the years, I’ve settled on these WD drives as the most reliable, easiest to handle drives for external backups. They *just work*. I purchased the larger 2TB model to serve as an external Time Machine backup for a Macbook Pro laptop with a 500GB internal drive.

The USB-C cable comes loose in MacBook Air and in iMac. I spent $15 more on a third-party replacement cable which does work. Not what I was expecting from Western Digital – and not acceptable!

Easy set up. Works out of the box. Performing as expected so far. Single ups connections sans power cord a plus.

Comes with extra features and is a great portable hard drive. Works well for private backup that you can take with you. Small and easy to use. Also comes in other sizes with more capacity.

These WD drives have been the most worry-free of all such external drives I’ve purchased over the years. I purchased this 1TB model to serve as an external cloned backup for a Macbook Pro laptop with a 500GB internal drive. At least once a day, I’ll run SuperDuper from Shirt Pocket software, to create a perfect, bootable, just-in-case clone of my laptop.

The My Passport Ultra 4TB drive works perfectly as an image file backup on my Mac. It mounts quickly and stores 70 MB RAW image files at up to approximately 110 MB/sec when connected via USB-C to an iMac It’s a very quiet drive and the metal-clad case runs completely cool, even during long periods of operation. Hopefully it will continue to work reliable for many years Power consumption (bus powered) is 216 mA when connected but not mounted, 318 mA mounted at idle, and 690-750 mA during data read/write operation at a bus voltage of 5.07V. I have not used the supplied bloatware which requires on-line registration and download of instruction manuals. Since the function and features of the included applications was not provided with the drive, I deleted it all and re-formatted when I first installed the drive.
