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.

Great product great price, WD and B&H what a combo. Hard to find 500GB but that is all I needed and B&H always has the beast price. WD is the best EHD.

This is a compact external hard drive that works well for back up to my laptop. It is small and sleek and is working well so far. The owner manual is not helpful at all. I had to call the company to see how to view my backup and sort through all the many files. There are so many root folders and they are confusing to sort through to get to your backup files, but once you figure it out (and write it down) you can easily access your backup. So far, I would recommend. The price is right!

I use this product to save video files.

The included cable with this product is terrible. It didn’t work with my Windows 10 install. Initially Windows didn’t even recognize a drive was connected. As soon as I used a third party cable the drive came to live. The connection with the OEM cable is wobble, and falls out constantly. It won’t stay connected to the drive or my USB C port on my laptop. Plan on investing in a Third party cable if you buy this product.

This is a very cool looking drive that is compact but yet has enough storage to back up multiple computers with huge drives in them. The included software is extremely user friendly. I am very relieved that I am finally backing up my drives with this unit which I keep locked in a fireproof box in a separate location for safekeeping.

I’ve used it for several months without issue.

I prefer WD Hard Drives as they are reliable and cost effective. This little USB drive is no exception, however I am not that impressed with the speed given that this drive is based on USB 3.0. It must be a 5400 RPM drive since the transfer rates are dismal when copying large amounts of data and that is why I only gave it a Three Star rating. I use it as a long term archive so no big deal but let the buyer beware.

Easy to set up but would have liked a written (short) set up booklet.

Awesome hard drive with traditional WD quality. Sharp silver look.

I use this product as external storage, mostly for photographs. What is great about it is the large amount of storage to store large files. I do not use the software included since most systems have an automatic backup system available.

simple and easy to use. just drag and drop. no problems encountered. small and light
Viva Rodriguez (verified owner) –
I use this drive for archiving video recordings, and it’s handy for that, as it’s small in size and is USB powered, and doesn’t use a separate power supply.
Marlon Kautzer (verified owner) –
This was easy to use and I would recommend it.
Sanford Schiller (verified owner) –
Not a SSD, but for the price and capacity it is excellent. Download speed is not that bad and works very well as an Time Machine for my Mac Mini. Good product, good pricing from B&H, I would recommend without hesitation.
Hudson Shanahan (verified owner) –
It’s good as long as I don’t leave it plugged in too long. I use a PowerBook and I have to force eject it if left in for several hours.
Helene Ward (verified owner) –
The hard drive works great, formatted it when I got it and it’s been running perfectly. It’s not a big deal, but it’s a little thicker than it looks on the product images (just a heads up)

I use it to store video and photo, transfers fast, easy access, never had a problem and I’ve bought 5 of them

4 TB of storage (more than my computer) in a compact, attractive housing. No separate power supply required since it is USB powered. Does not clutter up your desk. A minor negative is the brightness of the white LED. It could almost double as a night light (I just fold a 3×5 card and set it to block the light when the computer and I sleep). I use it with File History set for daily backup. My WD My Book died after just over a year when it was used as a continuous backup. This one has only been in use for about 2 weeks and I’m hoping for better results.
