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.

It appears to work as expected. However, it continually hums as though it is constantly searching and will not shut down or eject. I contacted WD and they suggested that there may be a conflict with my antivirus. Well, I have had many external Hard Drives and have never had a conflict with my antivirus in the past. So, what does that tell me?Not very happy with WD right now.

I am finally getting to use one of these drives on my Macbook Pro – I sent the first one back to WD after calling customer service. The same thing happened to the replacement, but luckily the customer service person the second time around managed to talk me through the trouble-shooting. They are optimised for Windows, and if you go through downloading all the WD utilities for Mac and so on and then try to do anything before doing a fiddly reformatting with Disk Utility, the drive will just keep crashing. Second time round this was fixed by uninstalling the WD application and rebooting the Mac, then going through Disk Utility. The website troubleshooting page can also talk you through this quite clearly. The first customer service person was helpful for getting me a return sorted out, and the second one was very patient talking me through the troubleshooting. Not for the technically faint-hearted though. If you want to just plug in and back-up, find something else if you are a Mac user. It is currently taking about 20 minutes to back-up 18Gb of data, I don’t know if that counts as fast these days or not….

The shipping was super fast, and the product works great. I use this portable hard drive to back up my photo and video files. It does as expected. I didn’t use the back up software.

It’s beautiful to look at and it works perfectly for me. My only disappointment is that SmartWare backup software was not on the drive, although if you already have the software it will be recognized. Service for the productless was faultless, as usual.

I use this for my laptop and no complaints…very reliable. It’s very quiet and stays cool. The USB cable could be longer but I’ll pick up a longer extension.

This is a very large capacity backup drive for an economical price at B&H. It is easy to install and use. But the WD backup doesn’t seem to back up new or changed files into the designated folder. So to ensure that everything is backed up,. I manually highlight the files and copy them to the backup drive folder, then I do some spot checks to make sure they copied. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, or perhaps there is an issue with the WD backup software.

Great little drive. Fast transfer speeds!

We use these to record mp4’s while we are webcasting. Then the drives are brought back and hooked to our Final Cut systems as sources. They perform flawlessly and quickly. We have probably 40 of these here. There 2 TB drives are on the way out I understand but are still a great drive and this was the best price around.

This is a perfect drive for backing up your computer. It took over 3 hours to format, it’s a beast! The total size came out to be 931 GB. Overall I am VERY happy with this drive and the service from bhphotovideo.com. I would recommend both to everyone. Thanks.

Can’t beat 2TB for under $$. Fast USB 3.0 file transfer, for portable storage. A bit thicker then most portable drives but still overall an impressive device.I regularly purchase WD products and yet to have any major issues. Fairly responsive customer service as well.

Using this with my MAC PRO 2013 to store Files related to film making. Great price at the time this was written for a 2TB HD USB 3.0. Prices will probably continue to drop as USB – C is rolled out. I have no intention of upgrading computers anytime soon so this is perfect for me.

I have owned several WD Passport portable hard drives, and they continue to get faster and hold more data within the same size chassis. I would highly recommend this hard drive to any and all computer users. Perfect for data transfer, backup, or extending the storage on your system.
