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.

I have purchased WD drives for many years now and have not had a failure yet, and I expect the Ultra to continue in that tradition.

I bought this drive to archive my AirPort Time Capsule. After reformatting to Mac OS Extended with journaling, it worked perfect. The white color also matches the AirPort Time Capsule router.

To date I’ve only run one data transfer, but I’m happy with how that went.

Bought a few of these for off-site back-up. The USB-3 transfer is quick and they have been reliable performers.

The drive works fine but I was misled by the title ultra portable and did not check the spec for its thickness. It is thicker than most of the external portable drives I have.

A few weeks ago I copied approximately 2.5TB to my new WD 3TB without any problem. I access the drive on a daily basic. It is connected to my MacBook via a powered USB 3 hub.

Love this drive. Using it with both Mac and Windows laptops as a backup and external storage for big or only occasionally needed stuff. Partitioned half into HFS+ to be used as Time Machine target and half into exFAT for everything else. Haven’t done any speed tests, for the purposes described above, it feels fast enough. On the cons side — it’s a little thicker that it’s 1TB version, so if you’re planning on carrying it around, consider 1TB as well.

I need to back up a lot w/ all the high-res photo files I have, and WD Passports work well and are also convenient for traveling with. This is my 3rd Passport; the other 2 are still going strong.

I have two of these to back up my data and photo files. I alternate backing up between them on at least a weekly basis, more frequently if I am gernerating a lot of files or doing alot of photo processing. That wasy I am never going to lose more than a week of data out if something happens and I have a major hard drive failure. I picked this because: (1) it was affordable; (2) it is easy to use (just plug it in and let it interface with your computer for you; (3) compatible with both USB 2.0 (for my almost obsolete current computer) and USB 3.0 for the one I am almost ready to buy; (4) plenty of storage for my current needs; (5) compact and easily transportable. It is not meant to be continuously plugged in to your computer. Unplug it when not actiely backing up. Otherwise, get one. It’s nuts to not have your data backed up if you have things on your computer that you don’t want to lose.
