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 using this to maintain a system back up of my Windows 10 desktop. It is fast and takes minutes to back up my entire C drive.

The drive so far works fine. The gray/silver gets fingerprint marks every time it is touched.

Really happy with the storage size for the price (I got it on sale, so even more of a bargain). This is now I believe my 4th WD brand external hard drive, and I think the 3rd I’ve bought from the My Passport line. Never had any issues with any of the My Passports, and so far this new one is holding up just as well as my now 5ish year old ones. The only downside, which has nothing to do with the hard drive itself or the company… I bought this for my PS5, and found out after the fact that externals can only be used to store PS4 games. I had purposely gone for 5TB assuming I would need massive amounts of storage for extremely large PS5 games. It’s okay though, I’m sure I’m still going to rinse through storage space with PS4 games anyway– it’s never a bad idea to buy the larger storage size. Just pointing it out in case anyone else had the same idea I had.

Used to backup WD desktop external hard drives. Prior to the Passport I used a second desktop external drive for backup and had to buy a second fireproof safe. Now the Passport takes the place of those hard drives and utilizes a fraction of the safe space. And when I need to retrieve a file the single USB/power source is far more convenient. I can also run the passport without a conflict with the desktop drive.

I bought two Passports USB 3TB maybe a year ago or so (both Ultra) I got the SAME drive a couple of weeks ago and it benchmarked better than the older ones. It performed overall a solid 20% faster. I have no idea about the latter. All drives have the most recent firmware updates.

Fast, easy to set up and use, and compact. Would give it 5 stars if you could do a system image backup, but not able with the software provided.

I have a bunch of these drives by now, and keep buying more… I use them to store video and photo files while in the field, and then finally as an archive for a completed project. Never had a problem, they work hard and have a long life.

1.5TBs for 72.00 is awesome, its USB3 so its a fast transfer, its got an sturdy enclosure so its very sturdy, and most of all it a retail box and its from B&H, they wouldn’t sell it if it was not a good price or drive.

I bought this product because all of my Assad cards were completely full; and it’s more than enough. It’s fast, small enough to carry around everywhere & it’s completely silent.
