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.

It hasn’t given me any issues. The transfers are fast… I bought it to vault my files and store it indefinitely. Hope it want crash in the near future.

I have used WD HDD for the past 30 years, depending on the workstation and what I used the workstation for, I will get their RED/BLUE/BLACK/GREEN for server series or I used the Passport model for on/off-site for clients when I need to bring in the module I am deploying. WD HDD – depending on the model have a 1-3 year warranty and I love the fact it is literally plug ‘n play. I wish they had more colors as I color-code my workstations and the visual helps identify an external HDD with it’s paired workstation.

This is my second 1.5TB My Passport from WD. The first one worked so well for my needs that I decided to purchase a second one to essentially backup the first one. You can never be too careful with HD’s and backups. No issues whatsoever so far with these drives and the portability is also a plus. These can fit pratically anywhere if you need to take your files on the go.

I have many 2 and 3 TG and never had problem up until now. The reviews on the net for seagate are not as good. Many said problems often occur within 2 years.

Very well constructed. Runs well with my Mac. USB 3 is backwards compatible – no problems here.

Bought this to replace an older WD external desktop drive that the computer no longer would access. This one works properly, is much smaller, and does not need AC power source, receives power directly from USB. Nice assortment of colors.

This hard drive is slim and good looking, relatively inexpensive, has lots of storage — and I thought it would be easy to use. However, the first thing that I learned is that its software was no longer supported and had to be updated. That was not an easy task. It has automatic backup, but I cannot determine if it is doing so. (When I look on my File Explorer, I see very little.) I have my fingers crossed.

I USE THIS AND TWO MORE WD 2TB HD’S FOR MY LIGHTROOM 5 BACKUPS. WORKS LIKE A CHAMP

I have several of these drives for backups and travel photos. The USB 3 speed is nice. You need to be careful to align the cord plug wit the drive receptacle to not cause damage. The WD software for testing the drive is reasonable but I wish it would give more info than just passed. It would be nice to have details about the results like if any bad sector are found, how many tested etc. If the plug in was a bit more reliable/easy and the test software gave more info, I would rate this 5 stars instead of 4.

I bought this to back up my 400GB of photos that had almost totally filled up my main drive. It’s cheap insurance if you ever have a hard drive failure. Everyone needs a backup of the hard drive either externally or in a cloud somewhere. I prefer externally under my own supervision and control

Not worth it for Apple Computers

Fast and easy to use, it’s a perfect product.

After years of using huge Lacie’s, I can’t believe how tiny, light and cheep this is. I backup my laptop to this guy. The only thing I’m wondering is how much you can bat it around–because it’s so portable, it makes me think I can throw it in my bag, but HD’s are generally meant to be fragile. I also love that it doesn’t need a separate plug, just powers off my machine.

I only buy plug n play WD drives as not one has ever played up on me now my family only buy them to.

Performance as described! Can’t ask for more than that!

This hard drive is great for digital storage and computer backups. The bus-powered drive uses a USB 3.0 connection, which is fine for copying data, but will not be fast enough for editing video. But alas, that’s not what this is for. Physically, the drive is impressive to look at. Very compact with nice lines. The connections are sturdy as well. I use this drive for backing up my computer and storing large amounts of digital photographs, and it’s great for that. I use this drive with a MacBook Pro. it works fine, but you will need to reformat the drive before using it with Apple computers.
