Description
Expand the storage on your Windows system and back up photos, video, music, and documents using the silver 4TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type-C External Hard Drive from WD. This drive is equipped with 4TB 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 use these drives for video projects. They are fast with no delays while rendering projects or playback.

I needed to replace my first photo backup external hard drive as it was over 5 years old. The Passport Ultra is a good because it run off the computer’s power. I had enough space left over to backup all my videos too!
Derek Schuppe (verified owner) –
simple to use

In addition to this particular 1.5TB WD drive that I bought recently, I have several WD external hard drives which I have used for backup and store photos during my nature photography trips to various locations. These drives have been 100% reliable for me for years. No failures, no issues. A 2TB Seagate backup plus that I bought recently is lighter and more compact though (I can’t comment on its relative reliability to the WD drive due to short time of use).

The USB-C cable comes loose in MacBook Air and in iMac. I spent $15 more on a third-party replacement cable which does work. Not what I was expecting from Western Digital – and not acceptable!

Good

I use two of these 2 TB drives as twin photo backups. That way if one goes, I have the other. WD external drives have died suddenly on me, so even though they are great when working, their sudden death is bad news. That is why I backup my backups. In terms of size, convenience and ease of use they are otherwise fast, compatible with my computers and easy to use.

On top of its good looks and small size, it just sits quietly doing its job.

As far as a backup device, it’s fine. Hardware is easy to install but the software interface leaves much to be desired. The manual is laughable. I think Obamacare works better. You have to make many guesses about what to do. But once up and running it takes care of itself.I’m using it to back up my ENTIRE C: drive but there are a handful of files it cannot back up because they are constantly in use. If you are looking for a bootable mirror image of your C: drive then use a RAID.Initially it took overnight to back up the C: drive.

Easy to use. Lots of capacity. Nice price.

If your searching for the best storage device goes for it. But your main goal is, you have huge data means this is the better choice for you with a 130MB/s read and write speed, whereas you have a small amount of data but speed is the main means you opt for SSD from Sandisk or WD which gives a maximum speed of 850MB/s read and write speed. And I have to say about the best 256-AES security which is good with the large storage capacity. I conclude by saying that this best for each penny you spend. CAUTION: If you are ordering from outside, the USA means aware of the duty amount charged by the customs in your country.

Easy to set up but would have liked a written (short) set up booklet.
Lon Jacobi (verified owner) –
These hard drives work fantastically well. I was able to transfer large amounts of data, about 200+ gigabytes at a time, with no trouble at all. They’re easy to pack and store, great for a traveling.
Dallas Crona (verified owner) –
Affordable, reliable backup
Lupe Reichert (verified owner) –
This was delivered FAST and works great!
Aracely Wolf (verified owner) –
A good storage drive that is compact and easy to use when traveling (no additional power cable needed)
Freda Hintz (verified owner) –
Compact, fast, reliable.
Emiliano Graham (verified owner) –
These don’t seem to work in secure mode with some macs and MacOS versions. Especially macs that manage sleep and reduce power while not being used. The volume cannot be accessed when the next backup is scheduled by the system.
Hubert Leuschke (verified owner) –
Seagate drives are slimmer, nicer looking and work just as well. I really wanted to get the Seagate – I travel often with many drives and the slim factor is big advantage. But I love the hardware encryption feature in the WD drives. I use it for Photo Editing (with Lightroom) via the USB 3.0 interface and it seems to work fine thus far.

USB 3.0, and 2TB – what else can you ask for. This external is great for the price along with the free cloud software (I don’t use this but it is nice for those who might need it). I would highly recommend this external.
