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.

This is a great little digital storage device. It’s compact, feels solid, has little rubber feet to help dampen vibrations, and comes in attractive colors. I use it to back-up for my photo catalog and drive images. My friend bought a Seagate 2 TB similar drive, but I still like mine better -though they are similar in performance and construction.

all my storage and computer drives are WD; never a problem. The ‘My Passport Ultra are my travel backup drives. This is the 3rd generation from WD I’ve owned. Light, compact; perfect for travel.

Using this with my MAC PRO 2013 to store Files related to film making. Great price at the time this was written for a 2TB HD USB 3.0. Prices will probably continue to drop as USB – C is rolled out. I have no intention of upgrading computers anytime soon so this is perfect for me.

I use this drive for my iMac Time Machine backups. I have 2 and use the 2nd one to keep off premises. It is very small and quiet when in use. Being so small I can take it with me easily; like when I went to Austria last summer. My one complaint is that the cable is very short; not long enough to reach the floor. For the one I keep connected all the time I got a longer cable so I don’t have to keep it on my desk. I can’t speak to the software. I erased it and formatted it for my iMac, having no interest in the software.

The drive works fine but I was misled by the title ultra portable and did not check the spec for its thickness. It is thicker than most of the external portable drives I have.

Liked mine so well I ordered on for my son and daughter-in-law.

I have a lot of external drives and these ones seemed like a bargain but it’s not wise to trust them. Now I’ve had 2 fail on me when they are less that a year old.
