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.

After years of using huge Lacie’s, I can’t believe how tiny, light and cheep this is. I backup my laptop to this guy. The only thing I’m wondering is how much you can bat it around–because it’s so portable, it makes me think I can throw it in my bag, but HD’s are generally meant to be fragile. I also love that it doesn’t need a separate plug, just powers off my machine.

A little drive that holds a lot.

So many pictures, needed this capacity.

I am using it to back up my photo collection and website and reduce the storage on my startup SSD. I use a Mac and needed to reformat the drive to accommodate the operating system. This was simply done with the disk utility app. The usb cable is short but this is not an issue since I remove the drive from the desk after backing up and put it in a drawer.

3TB of storage don’t get much better.

I’ve standardized on using these for my video projects as either the primary project drive or as a secure project backup drive. In the 5+ years since I’ve standardized on these, I’ve yet to have one fail on me. You just have to remember that they are still mechanical drives with moving parts so I do treat them carefully. When I travel, they get put in their own portable drive carry case along with some desiccant, just as some extra insurance against damage.

I’m using this on an old, and HEAVY HP 17.3 laptop. Needless to say, anything that;s added to the laptop bag takes up a lot of room and adds weight to the laptop bag. This drive is small and lightweight. Performance-wise, it’s pretty fast. Sometimes, cloning (with Acronis) can take a long time, especially since my drive is about 3/4 full. I would definitely buy this again AND I probably will, to backup my desktop at home.

Use it mostly for backing up my photos and video files. Had over 410GB of files and it took just over an hour (67+ minutes). I bought this one and the blue 1TB one (for a gift). If and when I fill this one up, this is the HD I’ll buy again. Love it. B&H rocks!!! FEDEX shipping is far from being tops. Sat in Belleville, MI for 3 days.

This portable hard drive is very versatile and portable. I’m using this drive to backup my documents . Originally I was using an external drive and a port for my backups, however, that’s extra wires and setup that I have to deal with. With the WD passport, I can easily just plug in and do what I need. The only issue is that it takes maybe 30 secs to a minute for the computer to recognize the drive. I also own an older version of the 1TB WD passport and that took way less time for the computer to recognize. This newer WD 1TB drive is also a bit slimmer compared to the older one.

The price for storage has dropped over time and this drive is a great example of how much you can get for a small cost.

it really is small for 5 tb. however, it is not a full 5tb, (its closer to 4.5) also, transferring from another external harddrive is slow. also, its not too fast to transfer 4gb directly from the hard drive in the computer.it could take a whole day to transfer that much info….

I’m a professional wedding photographer and use my portable HD to back weddings up- especially when traveling. Since I’m a location based photographer- this comes in VERY handy. I have 3 other WD HD’s and I love the easy functionality and dependability of them. It is also light, small, compact, and self-powered, which is great when I’m not by a power source other than my laptop. I feel the price is spot-on, and what I would expect to pay when depending on something to hold and store something so precious- like wedding pictures. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs something portable, as a back-up, or just extra space for storage.

The My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive is a wonderful product. Never fails to backup my files, and run smoothly. This is the second one I have purchased, and I will continue to buy in the future.

This is my second one and for the price cannot Beat it Customer Service at B&H is the BEST Would recommend to a friend

As an IT Customer Support expert, this is the only portable HD I recommend to my clients. I’ve personally used 3 for work, and countless customers have purchased these with no complaints in over 2 years. They all continue to work flawlessly. This is my 4th, and I expect that it will outlast both of my current computers. The speed and reliability are unmatched, and it looks great too! Very compact, sleek design, quiet. Everyone needs at least one of these to have peace of mind that their data is backed up safely. Western Digital makes data backup worry-free.

I have used WD externals drives for 8 or 9 years now. I have 3 My Books of varying sizes. The My Books were a little inconvenient since they have to be plugged into a wall socket to work. This Passport solves that problem completely. Very compact. Just plugs in to the USB port on my laptop & that’s it! Very portable; easy to take from room to room or on location. plugged into laptop. I had to reformat mine for Mac & Windows exFAT. There were very easy-to-follow instructions on WD’s website. Bought 2 more Passports in bigger 2TB size. Love that they come in colors for quick identification when backing up multiple copies of images.

I used this on a Mac for Time Machine backup. It did not come formatted to use out of the box, but a simple web search for initializing and formatting will get you going. The drive has performed well so far, and of course B&H delivery was simply the best.

If I could turn back time I would not have got this WD 1TB Passport. It does not allow me to transfer files between my MAC & PC. So I use it as a backup storage that id offline when not in use.
