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 am using this to maintain a system back up of my Windows 10 desktop. It is fast and takes minutes to back up my entire C drive.

1.5TBs for 72.00 is awesome, its USB3 so its a fast transfer, its got an sturdy enclosure so its very sturdy, and most of all it a retail box and its from B&H, they wouldn’t sell it if it was not a good price or drive.

I use two of these 2 TB drives as twin photo backups. That way if one goes, I have the other. WD external drives have died suddenly on me, so even though they are great when working, their sudden death is bad news. That is why I backup my backups. In terms of size, convenience and ease of use they are otherwise fast, compatible with my computers and easy to use.

The shipping was super fast, and the product works great. I use this portable hard drive to back up my photo and video files. It does as expected. I didn’t use the back up software.

I use a mid 2020 MacBook Pro 16″ top specs for video editing. DaVinci Resolve and BMPCC4K. I’ve been editing from this WD external HD and my 4K run really smoothly for my surprise. I exported a multi cam 42 min long video with graphics, color graded, adjustment layers in around 12 minutes. No issues ejecting the drive so I’m very happy with it!

I buy two of these at a time, so I have a backup, always. I store and edit HD video and they’re fast enough and durable enough to keep up. I own over 20 WD drives like this and none have failed yet…although, every drive eventually does, so keep everything backed up! I had a Lacie partitioned drive fail on one half of the partition…didn’t have a backup…never again, will I not have redundant drives.

We use these to record mp4’s while we are webcasting. Then the drives are brought back and hooked to our Final Cut systems as sources. They perform flawlessly and quickly. We have probably 40 of these here. There 2 TB drives are on the way out I understand but are still a great drive and this was the best price around.
