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 own two of these. I prefer Seagate because they are slimmer but these work well enough. I use them for backups. They are reliable but not exceptionally fast. They run hot and loud.

Used it once so far to transfer files from one almost dead computer to a new one, worked great no problems.

When I plugged it in… had to go into the C drive to open each WD file to allow it to run. No window popped up.

I bought this to clear up space on both PC and Laptop. This holds everything and then some. I have plenty of space to add more to it. I will be purchasing another one for my photography. I haven’t found anything that I am not happy with.

OK, it’s not the fastest drive but I didn’t expect it to be. I use it for backup and it’s been perfect (OS X). It’s a nice 5T for a great price.

Great value. Does exactly what promised.

You have to really jam the connector pieces together or else your Mac won’t read it but once set up it works great!

I use these 1TB drives for storing each year of my photographs in triplicate. They have been reliable with no failures to date. The lack of need for a separate power chord is a big plus.

The external hard drive is compact and has lots of storage space. I’ve backed up nearly two years worth of photos into the unit and freed up space on my computer hard drive.

I made a huge research on external hard drives before I chose this one, and it didn’t let me down. Fast, convenient, and not too expensive. Great purchase.

I purchased this due to a change in my Carbonite coverage and it was ideal for the application I had. Very simple to install and use.

I use this drive for back up of my 2TB RAID D drive. I works just fine though a little slow because it is a 5,200 RPM HD. Also, the WD software allows another back up, (2 more actually), to an external 2TB hdd from another Manufacturer. The – 1 star isn’t really fair because a small, portable drive like this has RPM limits and isn’t the same as a 3.5 in drive with a separate power source. Once the initial back up, in my case 1.6 TBs, has run, additional backing up isn’t an issue. I only use WD hdds because reliability with other manufacturer’s drives hasn’t worked out so well for me over the years. Nice, small, & really portable to easily take and use some where else. Quality is WDs usual excellent . WD also has the best customer service of all.
