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.

Other than it getting a bit warm when it runs for a long time, I have no other issues.

I bought this HD for the sole purpose of backing up all my files from my PC to Mac and vice versa. Prior to purchasing the HD I looked trough pictures and thought it would be a slim HD, but when I received it it was thicker than I expected. However I am pleased at the speed and easy set up of the product. I get to back up all my college works and documents from both platforms at ease.

I am not sure what exactly I did wrong, here, but I thought I would share in case it helps others. The drive itself seemed to work fine to start. I bought it for the hardware encryption. After turning on encryption, I copied a bunch of stuff to it using Mac Finder. That seems to have worked with no issue. I tried to copy files within Lightroom to the WD Passport. However, somehow, the files were disappearing, and it took me a while to notice. Some issue between Lightroom and the encrypted drive. Worse! I did not realize Lightroom was doing a MOVE and not a COPY. So, 6400+ photos, gone. (I was doing this to create a new backup, since my previous backup hardware died) Fortunately, Lightroom started complaining about errors at some point, and ended up finishing before trying to move ALL the photos, so I still have some left. But since my backup had already died, the missing photos are gone gone. I don’t know what the issue is at this point, but I really don’t trust the encryption now on the WD passport, which is the main reason I bought this drive vs. other options. So beware! At the least, be careful with Lightroom + encryption on this drive. Background: My backup drive had failed. My plan was to use the WD passport as a new primary storage for photos, and use my current USB hard drive as the backup. So first step was to copy the photos to the WD Passport. And then encrypt the old USB hard drive and copy things back.

I received the product with expedited shipping with 2 days. It holds lots of data, handy with a chromebook. BUT, why don’t they say 1.81TB? It doesn’t hold 2TB.

I use it for back-up and storage of my pictures and music. It is a good portable hard drive and for the price I think I got a good deal.

Since my 2TB Seagate crashed on a trip … with lots of photos … I decided to buy 2 of the 1TB size … and make my photos are always backed up. So far … the WD external HD’s are working and saving photo files … but ALL hard drives can fail … make sure you have a back up!

WD is my go-to backup drive and the small size is great. They got an extra 1TB for a total of 5TB up from the 4TB units. Comes with one cable instead of two. There is USB-C to USB-A adapter that plugs on. The adapter requires a little more force to make sure it is fully seated, once that was done, I was backing up without an issue. Still fixes in the 4TB case. Great little drive for the price.

I love how compact this external hard drive is and the amount of storage it has. B&H provides great service and quick arrival of orders.

It does the job. Plus the matte finished helps with finger prints. I’ll end up getting more of these soon.

If your searching for the best storage device goes for it. But your main goal is, you have huge data means this is the better choice for you with a 130MB/s read and write speed, whereas you have a small amount of data but speed is the main means you opt for SSD from Sandisk or WD which gives a maximum speed of 850MB/s read and write speed. And I have to say about the best 256-AES security which is good with the large storage capacity. I conclude by saying that this best for each penny you spend. CAUTION: If you are ordering from outside, the USA means aware of the duty amount charged by the customs in your country.

I am a retired HS teacher who makes extra money running karaoke shows on the weekends. I store my music on the Passport HD. The sveltness of the Passport is a serious advantage, as well as using the USB drive as the source of power. I have had a number of Passport HDs over the years, and have found them to be exceptionally dependable. This version is the 3.0 USB version, and I SWEAR that it searches much more quickly than the last one I used. I have recommended it to other KJs. Great value and great performance!

I am very happy with my new My Passport 1 TB HD. My laptop was able to recognize and use this HD without any problems (as opposed of other USB 3.0 HDs or thumb drives that I’ve used). This HD is light and compact (again compared to another portable I have). Lots of storage space for family pictures and music.

Not as thin as I had hoped for but still a great HD. Fast and easy to use. I use it for my mac and backing up photos. 2tb is a treat.
