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.

Love this product. Great for backup from the field to the studio. I can shoot all day at different locations and have it backed up for safety. Saves wear and tear on camera gear from downloading.

when i bought this it did not say clearly enough that it was only for windows. i had to phone the 1 800 number for WD to figure out how to format if for Mac. next time read carefully which system it is preformatted for.

I bought this drive to transfer photo files between 2 different houses. USB 3.0 Makes for fast copying and I’ve never had a WD drive fail on me.

This unit has been helpful for moving into a new pc. Now I’ll use it as a drive to store files that require portability. Fast 3.0 transfer.

I filled almost the entire drive without mishap, about 3.5TB of data. Ran warm (not hot to touch), no noise. No problems. I have 8 x 2TB My Passport Ultra drives with no problems. I expect this 4TB drive to be have no problems as well. That said, while transferring data, it seemed slower than previous 2TB My Passport Ultra drives, so I did a very informal copying test. 2TB My Passport Ultra (older drive): Ext HD to internal HD: 100MB/s (read speed) internal HD to Ext HD: 60MB/s (write speed) 4TB My Passport Ultra (drive I just bought): Ext HD to internal HD: 70MB/s (read speed) internal HD to Ext HD: 37MB/s (write speed) So, while the 4TB drive is still plenty fast, it is significantly slower than the 2TB drive. If storage capacity and reliability are top priorities, it’s a good unit for the price. If you’re counting on the speed, then the 2TB drive is a clear winner.

Portable, light, and very useful. Must have item!

I use it mainly for storing lots of photos for processing in Lightroom. Easy to use, very fast and reliable so far. Also very quiet. Several nice utilities tell how much space is used and how much left. Will encrypt content but that seems like over kill – too much paranoia. Neat color

Ive always liked WD drives but ever since I changed over to Type-C the slightest movement with my computer makes the drive accidentally eject. Its not the WD drive itself, as my G-Tech drive is doing the same thing. I believe it is the Type-C cables that are not great.

Bought this external drive to back up pictures. The size is smaller than I thought, which means it’s easier to travel with it. I’d definitely recommend it for anybody who needs data backup or archive.
