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 portable HDD for media and backups.

Very easy to use. Didn’t need 500GB, but this was the smallest size I could find! I had a Hitachi portable drive before, which I would not buy again,but decided to go with WD because the reviews were so favorable. And so far, it has met my expectations. B&H also had the best price, which is usually the case on many of their products!

WD is know for reliability, the passport ultra is a happy medium between size, price, and portability. I wouldn’t recommend using portable disk drives for everyday use as a primary or heavily used drive or without proper packing for transportation. These types of drives potential to overheat with time by no fan and moving parts that can damage with dropping. With that said, excellent drive for other purposes and very cost effective for a backup or file transfer drive.

These don’t seem to work in secure mode with some macs and MacOS versions. Especially macs that manage sleep and reduce power while not being used. The volume cannot be accessed when the next backup is scheduled by the system.

I’ve had a few of these. The last one kicked the dust after surviving about 100 falls so no complaints. They all perform well and now I’ve done it a solid by buying my latest one a hard case: highly recommended if you are like me. I can’t believe my phone is still working.

I am a photographer and keep all my files on these external drives. The WD 5TB offers great capacity in a small lightweight package. These drives have always performed well for me.
Jamel Klein (verified owner) –
They are not the fastest drives, but I just need them for storing my client files, so really like the reliability and price. I always by them in pairs and use Carbon Copy Cloner to keep a backup; so far have never had a challenge with lost data (touch wood :=) Keep mine in plastic Sterilite boxes so they stay dry and clean. They’re on sale about twice a year, so get more when needed.

This hard drive works great. It is very fast and stable. I would recommend this hard drive to anyone looking for a hard drive.
Charlie Brekke (verified owner) –
I use this drive for quick offloading of footage and offline edits while traveling. This drive is stable, fast, and has never let me down.
Ciara Kerluke (verified owner) –
All of the data on of my old XP computer are now safely tucked away on this drive. I intend to transfer the drive’s contents onto my new Windows 7 computer. When I travel I’ll take the drive with me along with my laptop. And, of course I’ll use the Passport for backing up my Windows 7 computer.

Ultra-sleek design. Arrived ultra-fast with standard shipping. The hard drive is great. You can’t beat the price for that amount of storage.
Abe Keeling (verified owner) –
Got it and happy after recording from laptop to this HDD speed abot 80-100mb/sec vs my WD 2TB HDD 30-50mb/sec. Same USB3 but speed higher almost twice.

I have been using these drives since I switched to USB 3.0 All of them are still working however I will say that at times my MacBook Pro has trouble ejecting them and I have to force quit to eject the drives don’t know why it does that… Also I like the fact that you can password protect the passport drives.
Dorris Senger (verified owner) –
Love it! Perfect for extra storage.
Milan Barrows (verified owner) –
Solid unit works fine. Wish it was a bit smaller in size to make it more portable and less heavy. Otherwise, it is very good.

This 1.5TB drive does exactly what I needed it to do -back up my Mac with timemachine and all my photos. I have a LOT of photos and wanted them all in one place. I considered getting a 2TB drive, but for the price, this one won out. It worked great with a quick reformat for my Mac. I simply transfered a couple of the pertient documents to the computer and had timemachine reformat the drive. The only thing I dislike is the flashing blue light on the drive (only when it seems to be asleep). I only notice it at night, so I can live with it. Other than that, I don’t even realize it’s sitting right in front of me.
