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 am a landscape photographer always looking for more file storage! I bought the WD 2TB Ultra for the road. It literally fits in the palm of my hand making it ideal for traveling. Comes formatted for Windows but the directions for Mac formatting are easy to follow and only takes a few minutes. It is bus powered eliminating a power cord. When connected to my MacBook Pro the USB 3 speed is excellent. I actually bought two as a package. The $$price for a pair is excellent. When working it doesn’t make a sound.

This is a great little digital storage device. It’s compact, feels solid, has little rubber feet to help dampen vibrations, and comes in attractive colors. I use it to back-up for my photo catalog and drive images. My friend bought a Seagate 2 TB similar drive, but I still like mine better -though they are similar in performance and construction.

Not the biggest in capacity, but surely holds a lot for this price. Very quiet, reliable, won’t overheat, stores a ton.

Arrived quickly and well packaged like every order from B&H. I reformatted for my MacBook with a single partition and then used Carbon Copy to move 1TB from a failing Seagate 2TB external 3.5 HD. I have not measured performance but I can say that all my photos are on this drive and accessed from Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Performance is acceptable for me. The portability is perfect. Its much easier to carry than an external desktop case. I backup several times a week using CC to a 4TB external USB 3 Hitachi TOURO. I have SAFETYNET on so that any error such as accidental delete of a file can be recovered. Its a good setup for just over a couple hundred dollars.

I use this for backing my 4TB RAID. It is pretty fast and love the way it looks. When I ordered, I was told there was a week delay. But, surprisingly BH shipped the next day. Always great service and happy with the purchase.

I was drawn to this item because it was sleek and white and had the capacity I was looking for! It was easy to reformat for exFAT (for use on both PC and Mac) and was delighted at how easily my huge photo files were downloaded to this petite external hard drive. From now on, it’s the only brand I’m using!

I have 5 of these for storing wedding photos and they work great. I especially love the fact it runs off of phantom power.

Have 3 of these exact models. They are great for portability. They stack easy enough using rubber circular feet. They sync amazingly quickly. It is about 6 hours for a copy of about 75% used space.

I use two of these 2 TB drives as twin photo backups. That way if one goes, I have the other. WD external drives have died suddenly on me, so even though they are great when working, their sudden death is bad news. That is why I backup my backups. In terms of size, convenience and ease of use they are otherwise fast, compatible with my computers and easy to use.

Needed to get a larger drive, preferably USB-powered and as fast as possible, at an economical price. While I would have liked to have bought an SSD, they’re still pretty expensive compared to the Passport. I’m using it for my MacOS Time Machine backups as well as archiving other files that are suitable for near-line (versus on-line) storage.

5TB is what everyone needs. And they’re cheaper now because of Bitcoin mining.

Seems like a solid, durable portable drive. The red is a great way to not lose it in the sea of black electronics I have
