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.

This is my 5th one. They are small for traveling and hold just enough. B&H has the drives at the best value

This portable hard drive is very versatile and portable. I’m using this drive to backup my photos. Originally I was using an external drive and a port for my backups, however, that’s extra wires and setup that I have to deal with. With the WD passport, I can easily just plug in and do what I need. The only issue is that it takes maybe 30 secs to a minute for the computer to recognize the drive. I also own an older version of the 2TB WD passport and that took way less time for the computer to recognize.

Great portable HDD for media and backups.
Forest Kozey (verified owner) –
This is a perfect drive for backing up your computer. It took over 3 hours to format, it’s a beast! The total size came out to be 931 GB. Overall I am VERY happy with this drive and the service from bhphotovideo.com. I would recommend both to everyone. Thanks.

4 times smaller than my old 1TB HD and much faster. I noticed that my old one start dying on me. So was very urgent to replace it. Got fast, free shipping. Setup was easy, and works on both Mac And PC.

i just bought this device as photo and video backups. It works great so far, gives me lots of storage space and i formatted so i can use it on both platforms Mac and PC. Nice little device.

I own the 4TB My Passport Ultra and it stopped being recognized by my MacBook Pro during photo transfer in Lightroom. Support told me it was gone and gave me a list of businesses to recover the photos; $500-$1300 for recovery services. Do not buy WD products! They don’t stand behind their hardware or software as it’s all 3rd party support charging crazy amounts of money, not if they fail, but when. Very poor business!

I use the drive for my GoPro video processing and the drive is surprisingly fast

Great product and value!

I’m not the smartest tech person, but am usually pretty good with this kind of thing. I can’t figure out how to save files to this drive using my Mac. I just want to store some photos. I’m sure I’ll figure it out, but the fact that I’ve spent more than 15 minutes on trying means its too complicated for the simple function I want to use it for.

I have owned several WD Passport portable hard drives, and they continue to get faster and hold more data within the same size chassis. I would highly recommend this hard drive to any and all computer users. Perfect for data transfer, backup, or extending the storage on your system.

I have three My Passport Ultra external hard drives for various purposes and all have served me well. No issues (knock on wood). If I needed another external hard drive in the future, I would buy another of these.

Can’t beat 2TB for under $$. Fast USB 3.0 file transfer, for portable storage. A bit thicker then most portable drives but still overall an impressive device.I regularly purchase WD products and yet to have any major issues. Fairly responsive customer service as well.
