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.

Great quality hard drive, works just fine for me! I use it for photography and I am able to edit my photos and but have an issue with it being slow or not having enough storage

Seems to be working fine.

The My Passport Ultra 4TB drive works perfectly as an image file backup on my Mac. It mounts quickly and stores 70 MB RAW image files at up to approximately 110 MB/sec when connected via USB-C to an iMac It’s a very quiet drive and the metal-clad case runs completely cool, even during long periods of operation. Hopefully it will continue to work reliable for many years Power consumption (bus powered) is 216 mA when connected but not mounted, 318 mA mounted at idle, and 690-750 mA during data read/write operation at a bus voltage of 5.07V. I have not used the supplied bloatware which requires on-line registration and download of instruction manuals. Since the function and features of the included applications was not provided with the drive, I deleted it all and re-formatted when I first installed the drive.

After trying many, many external drives from multiple brands over the years, I’ve settled on these WD drives as the most reliable, easiest to handle drives for external backups. They *just work*. I purchased the larger 2TB model to serve as an external Time Machine backup for a Macbook Pro laptop with a 500GB internal drive.

I am and IT person and vidcaster(video podcaster) among other things. I have two of these for temporary backup and editing on the go. I can consolodate an Avid project to the Passport and edit in a coffee shop or in my car. I have the Case Logic case for the one I take offsite to edit.They work well with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.I have clients rotating them offsite for backup. I recommend tape but the Passports work well if you rotate them, that is have two or three and it least one is offsite at all times.I am a big fan of these drives. My only complaint may be the short cable.

Well made, no complaints.

Use this for video projects and storage. Not sure what kind of drive is inside, but it’s fast enough for editing. I really like that it is powered via USB 3 with one cable and there is now AC plugin cord.

Was fairly easy to use right out of the box. Transfer rate seemed a bit slow but that was most likely due to outdated failing hard drive on windows XP system. Otherwise seems like a really good device.
Melyna Dibbert (verified owner) –
I bought this to transfer files to my new machine. It was quick and efficient and did the job I needed with no errors.

I used to buy WD 2TB since most of my media player mention only support up to 2TB. And now i buy this 4TB also work with my media player. Big storage good for store a lot of video.

I bought this to store my photo library on. You have to reformat it for Mac before using it. After that it works perfectly. Speed is good. I always buy WD now after having a couple seagates fail.
Reta Upton (verified owner) –
compact, light weight, no need for External power supply, data transfer rate adequate for back ups
Oscar Murray (verified owner) –
Use for my MacBook Air for backup and disk cloning with SuperDuper. I only reformatted (comes Windows formatted) to Mac and have fun.
Lee Littel (verified owner) –
This was purchased to hold the massive library of 4K videos and 20 to 50 Mp photos I will be taking with two new cameras I have preordered but have not yet received, as of the writing of this review. But in the meantime it makes me feel like a Bond villain. So I got THAT goin’ for me, which is nice.

Small, lightweight portable HDD is a great deal for the money. It’s relatively quiet and fast (based on connection, USB 2 or 3). I’ve never had issues with WD drives, so that weighed significantly in my purchase decision, along with features and price. Rated 4-star only because performance over the life of the unit is immeasurable at this time.

I purchased this item to back up my work PC. Product works perfectly and exactly what I needed. Purchasing from B&H is always a pleasure. Products are always as described and shipping is super quick
Chauncey Jenkins (verified owner) –
First, let me say that product arrived quickly, even w/free shipping. It set up in nothing flat and was working quickly. I am impressed w/B&H, their products and cost.

I use these drives when shooting larger events and need to dump files to my laptop on site and bring back home to work on my larger/faster iMac. Small in size, large in capacity and that fact that it gets it’s power from the computer without the need for a separate power cord makes them a perfect storage tool for someone on the go. Pick one up and you won’t regret it.
