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.

Drive works fine, no issues. I don’t use the software that comes with it so I can’t give any feedback on that.

I’ve been a graphic designer for more than 10 years now and I’ve had many Western Digital drives. The only reason I have ever needed to get rid of them wasn’t because they failed but because they no longer have enough capacity for backing up everything from newer computers. The Passport series in particular have been great. I use this 1.5tb drive to make daily backups of my work files to backup offsite. I’ve only used this on Macs so I can’t really say how good the on board software is but the drive itself is sturdy and quiet.

We love these hard drives , they are so sleek and take up very little room on your desk. The added attraction of no more bulky power cords makes this a no brainer for our photography studio .

Got my 1.5tb drive for my photos. Comes in handy for school. The drive works well enough, no problems so far. Never had any problems with WD. Little to no delay on use.

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.

Although it is the same width as the previous generation, it has a larger space at a low price! Very fast using USB3.0

WD external hard drives rule. So easy to use and reliable as can be. It’s a no-hassle no-brainer to go with WD. And the 5TB is not too chunky, either. The USB 3.0 makes it easy to use with my Mac.

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.

Compact and fast: USB 3.0. I transferred 500GB from another storage unit very quickly and easily. Use it often for my backups: so far so good.

I’ve purchased a few of these recently for media storage. They just work. I’ll continue buying them.
