This drive is equipped with 2TB of storage and a USB 3.0 Type-C interface.

Since WD designed this My Passport Ultra drive for Windows, it comes preformatted NTFS for Windows 10, 8.1, and 7.

Worked as advertised straight out of the box. I was looking for an external drive with at least 4TB storage (this has 5TB) that would interface with the Thunderbolt interface on my iMac 2020 and this fit the bill.

I needed an external hard drive to back up my files. This is a great small drive. B&H always has great prices and checkout was smooth. When i need something else, i will be back to B&H.

I purchased this 3TG Passport drive because my existing 750 MB backup drive (also a Passport) had run out of space due to a large amount of RAW photo files. The drive capacity is large enough to handle full backups of my main 256 GB SSD boot/program drive plus my 2 TB data drive. I cleaned up my old Passport and now use it for daily incremental file backups while the new drive is used for intermittent full drive backups. The drive is connected to a powered USB3 hub so the fast transfer speed makes it useful for full system backups. One caveat when installing in a Windows 10 system: The OS did not recognize the drive when first initialized – not the drive’s fault. I had to assign a drive letter through the Disk Management screen (Right-Click on the main Windows icon). So far, everything is working well.

I have been using WD Passport drive since they started at 500gb and the newest is now 5TB in the Ultra line. The unit comes with one cable USB-C, but they use a nice little adapter for USB-A that plugs one. The drive is fast for a unit that has no power supply. There is WS Security software that will encrypt all your files and keep everything safe. I have not had one of these go back unlike Seagate which is why I keep buying WD. Get a little padded case cheap on Amazon and you can take this drive with you anywhere. Great drive, get one you won’t be sorry.

Upon connecting My Passport Ultra to my computer the software did not install as advertised. I had to install all 3 manually but only the backup software worked. I had to contact WD customer service to correct. They gave me a link to troubleshoot the problem but the troubleshooting results were not consistent with the instructions. Eventually I was able to troubleshoot and fix the problem myself. It appears that the drive is working OK but getting it to that point was a headache.

How you use the product: Transport files between work and home Things that are great about it: Small and lightweight. Things that aren’t so great about it: Nothing so far. Worth the small premium for the 3 year warranty.

Very happy with my purchase of the WD External Hard Drive. Easy to set up with macbook pro, and a great price for 2TB of storage

4 times smaller than my old 1TB HD and much faster. I noticed that my old one start dying on me. So was very urgent to replace it. Got fast, free shipping. Setup was easy, and works on both Mac And PC.

Seems like a good drive. I only use it for backing up my Music stuff so it will not be on all the time. My only disappointment was the packing job. They through it in a box with two small pillow bubble packing things that were flat (no air in them) on the top only and it was sailing around the box hitting the sides. Hard drives are very sensitive so I hope it lasts. It got banged up during shipping, that’s for sure. This is the only time I got a package from B&H that was packed poorly. Most of the time they do a very good job packing. The person must of been in a hurry?

Easy set up. Works out of the box. Performing as expected so far. Single ups connections sans power cord a plus.

I purchased this version of WD’s Passport because it came with a USB-C plug with I needed for it to connect with my new iMac without an adapter. Initially there some problems with the formatting but this is now resolved and it works fine.

I am a photographer, I used to take nearly 300 pictures a week and each image would be around 30mb of size (since i use RAW mode to capture the photo). I need this hard drive to take a backup of my photo’s. The hard drive is too fast to copy the photos and very reliable.
