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 needed a large external drive to backup files, photos, and systems. I already had a smaller WD external drive that I take on the road for use with Lightroom. However, in setting up the new one, and adding a password, it complicated the use of the second which was also attached to my system at the time. I managed to sort this out, but could have done without the complication.

Perhaps it is the white, but it doesn’t seem as good quality as last year’s model.

I’ve had it for only a little while now a month to be specific.. It’s been shipped across the country from shoot to shoot. Nice backup/work drive so far, who knows what might happen in the future..

I ordered on 28-Nov and BH delivered immediately. They are excellent in handling the orders and the HD arrived in perfect shape. It is working well there are no issues with it till now.

I have a morbid fear of losing my computer information. Just before I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 I bought this, my 2nd passport so I have a duplicate backup. Plugged this newest passport in and it worked automatically and I now have peace of mind because of this. Plus got a great price from B &H and a 3 year warranty for $5 more than a refurbished passport with only a 3 or 6 month warranty. Highly recommend. The W10 upgrade went smoothly and now I no longer worry about losing my information/data. Plus B & H shipped priority mail at no charge.

This drive can hold a ton of information and can write fairly quickly (spins at 5400 rpm). Some occasional trouble came up mounting more than one at a time and one of our six drives died after a few days of use. The problem with that is that we can’t open it up and pull the info off with a toaster because inside the drive is essentially one piece.

This is my second passport. The first was a 1TB model and it performs brilliantly. I was so satisfied with the first that I bought the 2TB model and it worked just as well.

It is a nice drive. I own many of their usb drives. It would nice to have 2 separate cables versus an adapter that can be lost easily.

WD has never disappointed in the past and has come though again.

I used this 2TB hard drive for data transfer and storage, and it is very good. The 3.0 transfer rate is fast, more than twice as fast than when 2.0 storage devices are used. Connectors for cable fit tight. It’s also fast in retrieving stored data. I’m sure I will purchase another.

The drive so far works fine. The gray/silver gets fingerprint marks every time it is touched.
