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’ve been using Western Digital drives for the past 10 years. To date I have been more than satisfied with each purchase. This drive is no exception to the rule. The passport is great due to being pocket sized (roughly the size of a galaxy s4) and fast at the same time. The backup software is easy to use.

It’s not the fastest drive, but it holds a lot of 1’s and 0’s. I use it for backup of big video files. It takes about twice as long to transfer to then a raided drive, but it’s also smaller and bus powered.

Just replaced the same 2TB used for 3 years (still running) with this 3TB model. All good and decent speed with USB3

I DJ and have used external hard drives for years. The problem is they aren’t designed to be carried around from place to place, so they go bad and I use lots of music and work. The passport seems to be exactly what I needed, and plan to buy another one within a month. Data transfer speeds are great, and have not had any issues losing data or music.

I use this hard drive to back up files and it works very efficiently. It’s easy to set up and it’s small size makes it easy to transport as well as not taking up much space on my table. It’s well built, not flimsy and transports easily. There is nothing about this product that I would consider a drawback and would highly recommend it.

I had no problem loading the programs that came with it, but they don’t work properly. Reason being, the backup program is proprietary to Western Digital and doesn’t always work like they should. I had to erase/format the entire drive and used the windows backup program which performed flawlessly.

I use this drive for backup. I have 3 of them and I like the size and speed. They’ve been proven to be very reliable.

Recently purchased the 2TB gem as part of a portable Premiere Pro 2015 CC rig on an ASUS K501 laptop with a 250gig solid state drive, i7duo core processor and NVida GForce GTX video card. Loaded a 3 minute sequence with roughly 300 source clips and there is no noticeable lag with the clips being store on the USB 3.0 connected drive. Have to say I’m siked to have a fully functioning HD editing platform. This is my third WD drive so as you can see I’m speaking with my dollars when I say it’s been a great drive so far.

As a photographer either doing commercial work or my fine art; it is always important to back up all your work. This hard drive is great and holds all my raw photos that I take off my Mac.
