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.

Bought this unit because I am finally getting all my photos backed up in one place. Multiple drives all stored nicely onto this one. Previous purchase was a 1 TB device. This not only has more capacity, it is faster. And it matches my laptop!

I use this to back up 3 home computers. Even with newest updates of software doesn’t always let me safely remove (unplug the usb connection) when the time comes to do so. This is an ongoing issue that WD doesn’t see fit to resolve. I’ve had WD backup drives for many years and though the drives have all been flawless for me, their packaged software has always been quirky or downright scary. If you have the savvy or desire, might be best to use different backup software. The HD itself seemed to work fine and the USB 3.0 is nice and fast compared to my older 1 TB My Passport.

Great price on this little storage device (and it’s pretty). We use a lot of WD storage so I expect we’ll be happy with the performance. Great price when it was on sale!

Works as described for fast backing files

Love these back up hard drives

I like the slim design & more importantly the possibility of having the files safe by adding a password along with setting up regular back up . This is not my On the Go drive when I need top leave my desktop and travel light.

Doesn’t work like a back-up hard drive like I thought it would. No different than a USB storage device. I had to copy and paste into it. I get a bunch of error messages- can’t copy this file; need administrator permission; can’t copy that file because it’s in use; can’t copy that file because I can’t find it, etc. I am the administrator; nothing is open except as required to copy and paste the files. The software on the device can’t even find it’s own device; the device actually shows in one tab of the software it comps with, but when I try to run it to back up my system to the device, it says it can’t find the device. How come it can’t find itself to run a back-up? The Toshiba external drive I bought 6 years ago and 2 computers ago was much better. You could just tell it to run the backup and it would save everything. You didn’t have to babysit it and skip a bunch of stuff. Also, the type C connection is supposed to make saving / transfer faster, but it doesn’t; it’s very slow. When I use the adapter to a standard USB connection, it actually runs faster. This device is a waste of money. Just buy a USB drive with a lot of storage.

Backing up our files. Great device.

needed more room for my travel computer a Dell Inspiron. Works fine with it and gives me much needed expansion room.
Gregorio Conn (verified owner) –
Although this drive is USB 3.0 compatible, my computer has only USB 2.0 ports. No matter, the drive is functioning perfectly anyway. It’s small in size, but big in capacity, with plenty of room for my file needs.

Drive preformatted as HFS+. Automatically recognized by Mac. No trouble to setup as a Mac Catalina Time machine backup drive. Supplied cable is long.

Lots of storage for photo folders and files

This is WD’s latest, beleived it would stay within my trust level.Utilties are great but not the free Cloud upload as their terms state that it may get terminated at anytime no notice, so I never get excited about their clever ad. Their drive utilities can save your day before this HDD develops any bad sectors. Be careful when you use the Security Utility to setup password protected HDD, you can’t get the data back if you forget the password. I have made this HDD as my external boot drive with few partitions and two of which are FAT32 (cross platform compatibility). Totally a must have if you would really need an angel to protect your back.

Fast and quiet

Perhaps it is the white, but it doesn’t seem as good quality as last year’s model.

Either the batch I got was a fluke, or WD has dropped the QA department. Ordered the same one twice, second to replaced the first failed one. Both lasted 1 week before data corruption and file structure corruption. This was a size upgrade to the old WD ultra that I used daily for 2+ years, that I have to continue to use.

Good size Portable HD that comes with different colours. Good capacity for backups etc. Only con is that contact with USB connection was not so good with my specific product and quiet often It shows as it is disconnected from the laptop, and had to reconnect.

Terrific portable HD. Will more than likely buy more.
