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.

This is third My Pssport Ultra portable HD purchased over the last 3 years. I use them to back up internal hard drives on both MacBook pro and PC computers. Reliable, quiet, speed as advertised, and easy to plug and play with integrated software to set up for automatic backup or other operations. I do not have experience with other brands or models from which to compare, but so far, I have had no need to consider any others! If you compare price to quality and reliability, this has been consistently the best value.

I bought two of these because they were on sale. For the price, they are not bad hard drives.

I needed a space to put my photographs and this works really well. Fast. Left it plugged into a USB 2 port, no problems.

Thinner than the older models, and the USB-C connection helps make it a bit faster too.

No problems. It is quiet. I use it to back up a new Apple 13.3 MacBook Air M1 Chip with Retina Display using Time Machine. It works great and the backups are fast. I highly recommend it.

It’s not the fastest drive, but it holds a lot of 1’s and 0’s. I use it for backup of big video files. It takes about twice as long to transfer to then a raided drive, but it’s also smaller and bus powered.

Great price easy to setup and use. Apple users will need to reformat drive using Disk Utility.Citi Card users can initiate a Price Rewind and get $-$ back.

Should have taken the advantage of the holiday sales on it buying three instead of just two. Works as expected on this model. Nice to use for backing up files, small with coded password. I have been a faithful BH customer for decades. Great outfit! I have my oldest and the youngest two kids who are interested in photography buying from them too. Thanks.

I own the 4TB My Passport Ultra and it stopped being recognized by my MacBook Pro during photo transfer in Lightroom. Support told me it was gone and gave me a list of businesses to recover the photos; $500-$1300 for recovery services. Do not buy WD products! They don’t stand behind their hardware or software as it’s all 3rd party support charging crazy amounts of money, not if they fail, but when. Very poor business!

The only reason that I am giving this drive a four (4) star rating instead of a five (5), is that I have not had this drive long enough to know if it will make it the distance… Having siad that, it works great (note, I deleted all the contents of this drive when purchased, as I am using purely as a video drive (movies)).
