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 bought 3 of these to get the quantity discount. Big mistake. This hard drive tries to auto install some SES software that is not found on Windows update. I went to the Western Digital website to find out how to get rid of this. One has to download another program from the Western Digital site to block the attempted auto installation of this useless SES driver. If one does not do this then every time one connect the hard drive to their computer it will try to auto install the SES driver. What a piece of junk! I do not need this hassle every time I use this device. Why do companies pollute their hard drives with garbage? I am returning them and buying a different brand.

I bought this for photo file back up as I do extensive landscape photography. Basically plug and play, the first file uploaded perfectly with no hassles. Also I like the compact size.

Performance is good, and much less vibration than the previous generation My Passport.

I edit off the hardrive and store all my videos. You have to change the settings on it so it will be accepted by MAc

I primarily use this USB powered drive to move files from my cameras to drive while on the road. I also use it to save other files which I need while on the go. Its size is very compact and it has power on LED. It does not have ON/OFF switch I do not use built in back u software as I do my back up on my own site

Although I have dual backup hard drives attached to my PC, I have often worried about catastrophic events such as fire, flood,zombie attack, etc. The 500gb is large enough for me to backup my important stuff and even using it with a USB2 connection, it’s fast enough for my needs.

As a photographer, images take up a lot of space. I use this product to store images as a backup and a second set on Dropbox. Would not be without one.

This 4tb unit is hard to find anywhere except B&H Photo. Silver edition looks great and matches my laptop’s finish.

Small, compact, requires no AC power. Purchased this for my iTunes music and photos. It meets all of my expectations for a portable device. I may get another as it is more convenient than having to take laptop to desk where I keep my 3 other external hard drives.

A year ago I purchased a 1.5 TB model of this drive and it has been reliable from the start. Recently decided to acquire more space and this was the way to go. Trusty, quick, and reliable, as well as easy to travel with. I definitely plan to purchase another when the time will inevitably come.

Best price for this WD product anywhere, but the quality of the WD has diminished. I have never had one go bad and yet 2 of the last 3 I have bought have had problems. WD problem, B&H Service & prices the absolute best!

Passport makes some of the most reliable portable hard drives I’ve used. I do a great deal of sport photography and store copies of all my files using these hard drives. Highly recommend passport portable hard drives.

I knew nothing and still know nothing about external hard drives and how to do much with them, but I wanted to make sure I had something to store pictures and documents in case my PC stopped working. After reading on line reviews, I figured this was the item to get. Great price and massive storage. I was able to move everything that I wanted from my C drive to this portable drive. It didn’t come with any instructions, but it didn’t have to. It was really easy. I’ll admit that I did a youtube search for a demo of the drive. It was as easy as they showed on the video on youtube. I don’t know how to copy my entire operating system if I wanted to do that, but I’m sure I could find out how. The thing is really quiet and small. I can carry it in my coat pocket if need be. I don’t know the difference between moving items from one PC to this unit and an actual backup of info, but I’m sure I can find it on line. For my needs, this was very easy to use. Hopefully it lasts forever.

I have several of these drives that I use for photography. Carry them around and occasionally drop them. Work flawlessly.
