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 needed to replace my first photo backup external hard drive as it was over 5 years old. The Passport Ultra is a good because it run off the computer’s power. I had enough space left over to backup all my videos too!

Very happy with my purchase. I use it for backing up my iMac using Time Machine. Since it’s nice and sleek, it tucks nicely under my iMac. High capacity and sleek design makes this a winning product!

Finally have a portable drive with enough capacity to back up all my images and files. Just wish it had the USB 3.1/Thunderbolt interface (vs. its USB 3.0) so the backup would be quicker.

Only slightly bothered that this drive is 2017 model because it passed WD drive tests and seems to be working properly. The software that comes on the drive is also 2017, which is not current. Downloaded more current software from WD website. Like the password security feature. My previous Passport came with a nice cloth bag for storage; this one did not. Bottom line… good value for $45.

Good product from B&H. They get five stars for Great customer service. The drive is sturdy and didn’t require reformatting for my MacBook Air.

i have tons of these things used as dedicated video drives. Portable, don’t fail, and BTW — the 5TB is like $8 more than the 4TB drive. no brainer.

Pluged it and started using the HDD for back ups. It has a fast transfer rate with USB 3, personally would like a thunderbolt port, however, it is limited by the HDD speed rather than by the USB transfer rate.

Convenient when traveling and love the idea with the USB connection, no more AC adapter and looking for an outlet.

The drive freezes frequently and is excruciatingly slow. Totally unsuitable for transferring large numbers of photographs. Stay away from this one.

I bought this 1.5 TB as an archive drive to store vacation photos, music and movies. The drive is priced at a very good value – essentially 1/2 terabyte free!Shipping was free, very fast and B&H packaged it with love which is super important for hard disc drives. Based on this pleasant B&H experience, I will always consider your store for all my relevant online purchases. Thanks B&H for caring!!!

The product says it works with the Sierra OS on a Mac; not true. It did work on my laptop with the Catalina OS, which is the device I wanted to use it on longterm, but I needed to download files from the desktop first, so I had to do a work around. It works fine on the laptop.

I bought two of this for Mac and PC backup. It works perfectly, and the speed with USB 3.0 is amazing. I buy WD Hard Drive when I need an upgrade or an external disk, and ever it has excellent performance.

Purchased 2 4 TB drives for use as Lightroom master and back up. Got everything transferred and recognized by LR. Today drive won’t mount. Checked the cables, etc. So glad I had a back up, but worry about the other new drive….
