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 decided on using Western Digital My Passport Ultra for Mac 2 TB as exclusive external hard drive for Time Machine on my iMac. I have also used WD My Passport for Mac 2 TB as exclusive for my MacBook Pro. Both were easy to install simply by Google search for instructions How to install Time Machine on external drive. No instructions come in the package box. Both are working automatically. I’m happy with each!

We used the product to store video of a weekend series of workshops and a concert/awards ceremony. It has plenty of storage space and is fast. Ideal for audio/video storage. It is small and light and very portable. We gave it to the videographer to load with all his video. He got it back to us and then we gave it to our website manager and social media director to excerpt onto Facebook, Youtube and our websites. Ordering from B&H was simple and fast. The price was fabulous and it arrived very fast. We are happy in every way with every aspect of this transaction and the product.

i bought this drive to use as a Time Machine backup. It was easy to set up and seems to be working fine so far ! I like the little rubber feet to prevent movement and the included adapter so I could use kit with my older MacBook Pro.

I am finally getting to use one of these drives on my Macbook Pro – I sent the first one back to WD after calling customer service. The same thing happened to the replacement, but luckily the customer service person the second time around managed to talk me through the trouble-shooting. They are optimised for Windows, and if you go through downloading all the WD utilities for Mac and so on and then try to do anything before doing a fiddly reformatting with Disk Utility, the drive will just keep crashing. Second time round this was fixed by uninstalling the WD application and rebooting the Mac, then going through Disk Utility. The website troubleshooting page can also talk you through this quite clearly. The first customer service person was helpful for getting me a return sorted out, and the second one was very patient talking me through the troubleshooting. Not for the technically faint-hearted though. If you want to just plug in and back-up, find something else if you are a Mac user. It is currently taking about 20 minutes to back-up 18Gb of data, I don’t know if that counts as fast these days or not….

Works great. Large capacity at a great price. Purchased to replace a crashed drive that was mostly backed up…I am thinking of getting another to insure ongoing, simultaneous backup.

As an owner of several WD MyPassport drives over about five years, I can say this 3TB drive does not fall short from the convenience, speed and reliability I have come to expect in previous models. I have traveled far and wide carrying MyPassport devices, and find them lightweight, compact, and fairly durable. Never had a hitch. This model is the exact same thickness as it’s 2TB predecessor, and seems to me slightly quieter. I find no major difference in external materials and construction, although I do think the top panel feels a bit more solid to the tap of the finger.

We use drives like these regularly to hand-off files to clients. They are cost effective, widely available, and work on both windows and Mac OS.It is essential to keep track of the included USB cable in order to connect the drive.

Fast device allowing to to transfer huge amount of data quickly. One bad thing is the fact that the Power/Activity LED is in the middle of the back where you cannot see it thus it is not easy to see if the disk is working.

I needed an external hard drive to back up my files. This is a great small drive. B&H always has great prices and checkout was smooth. When i need something else, i will be back to B&H.
