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.

I was looking for a small, lightweight, fast USB 3.0 external hard disk for my laptop. The drive/cable weights 6.1oz (176g). Looking at various USB drive comparisons it ranks rather high for USB 3.0 transfer speeds (it is fast on my laptop) and mid-pack for USB 2.0 speeds (on my desktop). It works nicely for backing up my photos/videos and transferring data between systems. It has hardware encryption of the data which saves me from using virtual drive software. A good buy 😉

I plugged this to my Laptop and worked right away, no drives needed to install. Transfer rates are great. Was able to back up all my data, and still a lot of space left for future backups! Great buy!

Exactly what I needed at a great B&H prices.

I use it as a backup of my PC’s HD.

I’m only giving 4 stars due to speed. Despite being USB 3 and being plugged into a USB 3 port, it runs at fairly close to regular USB speeds (18mb/s). My other USB 3 drives consistently run 3-5 mb/s faster. That said, setup was simple and transferring my entire photo library (225K images) went off without a hitch (took about 28 hours). I have other WD drives and none have failed me yet, and I hope for the same quality here. I use this as my 3rd drive for my photo library and Lightroom catalogue and stash it in a fire safe at home. When I travel, I stash a drive in the fire safe, one in my office at work, and one stays by my computer at home. Compact, high capacity drives like this one are just the ticket for portable library backup, but are a bit slow to use as working drives. All in all, this is an elegant, well built, very compact drive with huge capacity. Definitely recommended.

Bought this to backup my PC hard disk. Used the WD SmartWare to do automated backups and it seems to work pretty well.

It works great. Great compact form factor and lots of storage at 5TB.

The drive actually has more than 4TB of space (4,000,750,497,792 bytes when you right click Properties). Of course, Windows calls this 3.63 TB (calculated as 3.63 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024). The drive works approximately the same speed as my other USB 3.0 devices, which is the 50-100 MBs/sec range when copying from my fast camera SD card to the 4 TB drive. I’ve already copied about 1 and 1/3 TB of data to it without problems. It’s exactly what I expected based on the ad.

I finally solved a problem that had been haunting me for the last year. When I switched to a MacBook Air with 500GB of SSD storage from my trusty 17 MacBoo Pro with a 1TB SSD, I had a problem. My 425GB iPhoto Library was too big to have with me on the MB Air. I know it is freakish, but I love having ALL my photos available to me (especially when using iPhoto Faces). I would frequently carry the MacBoo Pro with me and leave it in the car, just in case I needed access to some Faces. Thanks to the 2TB My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive I now keep in my laptop bag, I can access my full iPhoto Library I copied from the Pro to the Passport drive. No more running out to the car or carrying my much larger workhorse MacBook Pro. The USB3 transfer from the Pro went smoothly and quickly. Reformatting the drive, prior to loading the iPhoto Library onto the Passport, to the MAC OS Extended (journalized) format was simple and effective. The Passport works wonderfully with my MacBook Air. I also use it for Time Machine backups–wonderful having 2TB! Additionally, I love the RED color! This is a fast, compact, and reliable drive (not SSD fast, but 2TB is worth the tradeoff). I love it!

It is amazing how much smaller this 2TB drive is compared to my other 2TB drive from a few years ago. Portability is key.

Large storage in a small package. Have several of these and mainly use to store and backup pictures and videos. Have yet to have any negative issues.

I bought this for speed and that’s what it delivers. Enough said.

As always BH ships so quickly I don’t know how you do it. As a partially retired videographer I not only archive current projects but also rearchive past projects. I don’t know how long those older hard drives will last. Today we have larger hard drives than ever before at affordable prices. I find myself archiving more items than in the past.

This is a great drive that was easy to get setup. The backup software that comes with the drive works nicely. The drive was a lot thicker than the lesser capacity models.
Enrique Brekke (verified owner) –
Works perfectly, just as described! Love B&H!

Came earlier than expected and ber easy to use without have to read any manual. I would not use the program Pre-installed on the drive though. This is my new favorite electronics site!!!
