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.

This portable hard drive provides ample storage for all my artwork past and present so I can have full access to it during extensive travels.

I ordered on 28-Nov and BH delivered immediately. They are excellent in handling the orders and the HD arrived in perfect shape. It is working well there are no issues with it till now.

Great transfer speeds with USBC but low build quality.

Love how affordable a portable 4TB has become. I use these to backup my videos on long shoots. Due to experience, I always get two so one can backup the other if one breaks.

Has a nice build quality. We will see how long it lasts. My seagate barely made 2 years. All my western digitalis are still working.

This is a good choice for local backups. Password protection and hardware encryption are nice features. Data transfer is fast, but not as fast as I would have expected on a USB 3.0 interface. The drive’s design is compact and it seems to be quite sturdy. I use my own backup software rather than the supplied WD SmartWare which I find awkward to use.

It’s a no frills external hard drive. I was happy to find that it comes with a USB 3.0 cable (albeit a very short one) to facilitate fast transfers. It looks good, has a sleek form, is small enough to pocket, and runs near silent.My only complaint is the software that comes with it is limited and has a terrible, dated interface, and runs constantly in the background even if you don’t have backup enabled. It does, however, offer a handy feature where you can select a group of files to back up and it will continuously monitor them for changes and maintain a current backup in real time.Over all, 1TB with a small form factor for $ seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I received the HD very quick and for free. Saved me the trip goiong to the store. HD needed to be formatted for Mac but that was done very quickly. I would recommend this HD. Very compact and silent

All my mobile external drives are Western Digital and they have never let me down so far. This includes this drive that I use as backup drive since December 2018. Never had any problems with WD drives. I can only recommend these…

I own 2 WD External hard drives and have been very impressed with their performance. I purchased the 500GB My Passport Ultra for my granddaughter who is a semi-pro photog and was complaining that her photo editing programs were running in slo-mo. She had 3,000 jpeg’s stored in her pics library. Now she has most of her pic files stored on the My Passport Ultra and is overjoyed at the ease and speed she was able to transfer the files, we are both impressed with this Hard Drive.

When debating to upgrade my 500 MB Passport I knew I was looking at at least 2 TB of storage and a USB 3.0 powered portable external hard drive.Like my other Passport, this is a solid build and will be connected to my laptop unless I need to take it somewhere. Very unobtrusive. Love the color. Not sure if for the extra money it’s worth the cloud storage, but it is slick.If you’re looking for benchmarks, here they are:———————————————————————–CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2013 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s Sequential Read : 111.920 MB/s Sequential Write : 107.535 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 40.201 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 55.535 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.534 MB/s 130.4 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 1.324 MB/s 323.2 IOPS Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.582 MB/s 142.0 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 1.358 MB/s 331.4 IOPS Test : 1000 MB G: 0.0% (0.4/1863.0 GB) (x5) Date : 2013/08/25 21:39:14 OS : Windows 7 Home Premium Edition SP1 6.1 Build 7601 (x64)I love having an external hard drive power through the USB port. The Essentials line was a little cumbersome trying to plug things in with all the other devices out there.Look forward to backing up my system, my 18,000 songs,am still having close to a terabyte left for years to come.
