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.

WD has never let me down. At this time, although I made quite a lot of research on this, I ended up (again) on WD. This is fast, reliable, and quiet. With this size, I could carry my daily commute.

I have three My Passport Ultra external hard drives for various purposes and all have served me well. No issues (knock on wood). If I needed another external hard drive in the future, I would buy another of these.

We use WD external hard drives for all of our video projects and they have always been reliable, durable and great in performance.

I always carry two WD portable drives when traveling So far no problems. I always back-up digital files on, at least, two external drives. These drives are not armored so have to care not to drop or treat roughly. It would surely help if WD would print the size (capacity) of their portable drives on the device.

+ How I use the product: – I buy one of these for every year of work that I have to store both RAW files and their finished JPEGs. – I use the current one to keep my RAW files and .XMP files as I’m editing current projects. + What’s great about this product: – Very portable, slim, and easy to store in my bag! – Fast reads! I’m transferring images at an average of 75MB/sec with USB 3.0 on a 2007 laptop. – I’ve never had any crashes or errors with the data. Very safe from my experience and I’ve been using these since 2007. + What’s not great about it: – I have no complaints.

I purchased this to save tens of thousands of yearbook photos from previous years. It was very simple to use. It took several hours to save the photos, but that is only because there were so many.

Only a 4 because I haven’t used it extensively yet, but wow, very impressed with the size and convenience, and obviously that it has SO much space! Purchased to back up all my photographs, holds my extensive collection with space to spare.

It is plug and play and works just as described and expected. You cannot go wrong with this portable storage device. Good buy. 2 TB should last a very long time. I like that it is small enough to take with me where ever I go, if needed.

Extremely portable hard drive, 1 TB, USB 3, reasonable price…and it’s red. I purchased this as my field drive for dumping cards on photo shoots, and so far, it’s done its job. I recommend reformatting it to either NTFS, or OSX Journaled of some sort; FAT32 has a 4GB file size cap that can be a huge pain if you’re working with high resolution video. It hasn’t died on me; if it does, I’ll come and change this rating/review. Not much else to say.

The drive is silent and easily formated for my Xbox 360 Elite. The usb cable has one special WD end and is quite short. You have to use an extension cable, since a standard one won’t work, if you want it further than a foot from where it’s plugged in. The cable has to be plugged into the two right-hand usb ports on the Xbox because it’s too fat for the ones on the left side. The blue light blinks constantly, whether the drive is working or on standby – really stupid and irritating. Because of the proprietary cable and blinking light I give it four stars. It shipped fast and was well packaged.
