Description
Expand the storage on your Windows system and back up photos, video, music, and documents using the silver 2TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type-C External Hard Drive from WD. This drive is equipped with 2TB 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 use hard drives like this for taking audio and video files on the road, and for sending clients large video files. Before doing anything else with the hard drive, I use Apple’s disk utility to partition it into two partitions, and prepare it for use with our Mac computers at the studio. The proprietary software that comes installed on the drive is a nuisance for me, and prevents me and my clients from using it transparently. I’m not worried in my professional life about somebody accessing this drive’s contents and stealing or corrupting them. I’m thinking more of ease-of-use for my studio staff and for my clients, and the Apple disk utility lets me set the drive up quickly and efficiently.

Love the portable size and great storage capacity. Easy to take anywhere and it’s fast to access all my stuff.

I use it to backup short film footage. It’s small and was cheap. I think it was good value, but only time will tell. The chord connection does not seem to be to sturdy.

arrived fast good price

I often use this drive when I edit video for storage of intermediate renders. This helps to keep enough free memory on my MBP SSD drive for use by running apps. The file read/write time is sufficiently fast not to hinder my workflow. I also take this drive with me when I travel as one of my back-up drives.

I am a wedding filmmaker and need portable drives in order to store and back up my films. This drive does that well, it isn’t necessarily the fastest to transfer files to but serves it’s purpose. I bought this when it was discounted and it is well worth it

Small size provides great portability. Good write speed too!

Rock solid, dependable drive. I had well over 1,000 DVD’S, stretching back in time to when my kids were toddlers. I ripped all those movies and put them on this drive which, incidentally, I was able to use, along with Plex, to watch them again. I’ve since copied those movies to an internal WD Red drive. So now I have a backup as well. Great device.

Great for storing raw photos. Portable.

In addition to this particular 1.5TB WD drive that I bought recently, I have several WD external hard drives which I have used for backup and store photos during my nature photography trips to various locations. These drives have been 100% reliable for me for years. No failures, no issues. A 2TB Seagate backup plus that I bought recently is lighter and more compact though (I can’t comment on its relative reliability to the WD drive due to short time of use).
Michaela Boyer (verified owner) –
4TB and USB 3.0 is the perfect combination for this portable hard drive. I edit a lot of videos on location and it is much more convenient to transport from one location to the other.
Casimir Reinger (verified owner) –
Great lightweight drive for backup. Removed all the added software to maximize disk size. Saved the software in case of future use.
Jena Terry (verified owner) –
It is very good. I am very happy with it.
Karianne Ritchie (verified owner) –
Great value for its price. This model is really for Mac and was instantly useable with my Macbook Pro. USB 3 is fast and reliable!

Works fine as you would expect. It’s a hard drive does nothing fancy, but it stores fine data.
