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.

Small disk yet has plenty of storage. It was very easy to reformat this disk for Mac

Very good

I’m using this drive for a back-up drive. I just got it from B&H and so far so good. The only thing is for such a small drive its a little noisy. Almost 3x’s the noise of my portable G-tech drive. But for the money what can you expect.

Had to free up my computer, this WD My Passport Ultra is real easy to use. Lots of space to hold 1000’s more photos!

Very user-friendly. No problems connecting, easily stored and easy to access all of my files.
Mohamed Balistreri (verified owner) –
I replaced an old Passport, due to not enough space. It was simple to install and get up and running. Backups have run fine.
Bennett O’Kon (verified owner) –
USB 3.0 drive allows you to transfer files pretty fast. Easy to carry, not too big.
Stanley Paucek (verified owner) –
1tb in a very small package, works well, fits in a pocket. so happy they are finally getting easy to carry.

Nice drive size, great that it is powered by the USB port, however only capable of 3.6GB of storage. Window drivers for 64 bit system will cause Page_Fault_In_Nonpage_Area, DPC_watchdog_violation when you restart, reboot, or recover from sleep. I would not buy this until a new version of firmware is available for it. I have a 3GB Passport and it is firmware v2, it does not have this problem. WD is no help at all.

I bought this drive to archive my AirPort Time Capsule. After reformatting to Mac OS Extended with journaling, it worked perfect. The white color also matches the AirPort Time Capsule router.
Haley Lind (verified owner) –
I take a lot of photographs and need a place to process and keep them. This does the trick, fast, easy, and secure.
Madyson Marks (verified owner) –
Upon connecting My Passport Ultra to my computer the software did not install as advertised. I had to install all 3 manually but only the backup software worked. I had to contact WD customer service to correct. They gave me a link to troubleshoot the problem but the troubleshooting results were not consistent with the instructions. Eventually I was able to troubleshoot and fix the problem myself. It appears that the drive is working OK but getting it to that point was a headache.
Parker Rohan (verified owner) –
Very easy to install and the initial backup took about 20 minutes. The backup software is installed on the drive. The actual available storage is closer to 1.36 than 1.5 but so what. It’s still huge.

I own 2 WD External hard drives and have been very impressed with their performance. I purchased the 500GB My Passport Ultra for my granddaughter who is a semi-pro photog and was complaining that her photo editing programs were running in slo-mo. She had 3,000 jpeg’s stored in her pics library. Now she has most of her pic files stored on the My Passport Ultra and is overjoyed at the ease and speed she was able to transfer the files, we are both impressed with this Hard Drive.

I use as a portable backup drive for my traveling laptop. Fairly fast for a spinning drive and enclosure feels like it’s going to last.
Maribel Zboncak (verified owner) –
Bought this unit because I am finally getting all my photos backed up in one place. Multiple drives all stored nicely onto this one. Previous purchase was a 1 TB device. This not only has more capacity, it is faster. And it matches my laptop!
Cielo Littel (verified owner) –
Great secure storage at a good price. USB powered so you do not need to worry about AC power drops.
Jimmy Gorczany (verified owner) –
USB 3.0, and 2TB – what else can you ask for. This external is great for the price along with the free cloud software (I don’t use this but it is nice for those who might need it). I would highly recommend this external.
