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 have two of these portable drives. They’ve both worked flawlessly for a year with heavy use and daily movement between my two computers. I am in the process of buying a third one right now. I move them because file transfers via wifi are slower than USB 3.0 transfers (max rating of 150-300 mbps vs 5gbps) and carry greater security risk in an area with high concentration of wifi’s, even with a firewall. My confidence in current security tech has eroded a lot with the incredible amount of data theft and hacking happening more and more frequently through much better security than my firewall. I do NOT recommend inexpensive hard drives like this greater than 2tb. They are notoriously unreliable. My 3tb Seagate quit in less than a year, while these two 2gb WD drives keep on going.

I use it mainly for storing lots of photos for processing in Lightroom. Easy to use, very fast and reliable so far. Also very quiet. Several nice utilities tell how much space is used and how much left. Will encrypt content but that seems like over kill – too much paranoia. Neat color

great solution for backing up old projects from my video business

Use this for video projects and storage. Not sure what kind of drive is inside, but it’s fast enough for editing. I really like that it is powered via USB 3 with one cable and there is now AC plugin cord.

I needed a reliable portable hard drive to keep my photo editing mobile! This was the answer to being able to edit photos from multiple locations and on multiple devices!

This is my D: drive, for thousands of digital photos. I have another Passport that I use for backup, and keep off-site. Larger (TB), smaller (size), no power cable needed, and faster than my failing external.

Great drive

I use these hard drives to edit video on FCPX. They are fast enough for editing and reliable for storing client footage and files. They are convenient as I often shuttle them between home and work computers to work on projects.

I tried to use this HD to extend the capacity of my laptop’s HD. Unfortunately, this drive is incompatible with later OS X versions I had Yosemite and upgraded to El Capitan in hopes that an upgrade would resolve issues) Searches online showed that Windows systems are also affected (Search for WD Passport ultra not mounting or wd passport ultra not recognized) I had an old OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) floating around and it was able to read the disk. I tried formatting the WD drive for Mac and try again in later OS, but it still wouldn’t work. Had to return it. Also, by using this drive you agree to binding arbitration, which severely limits your ability to seek redress for any issues that might arise. That was a definite put-off for me, and the incompatibility issue sealed it for me. Got a Seagate, and it works like a charm.

4 times smaller than my old 1TB HD and much faster. I noticed that my old one start dying on me. So was very urgent to replace it. Got fast, free shipping. Setup was easy, and works on both Mac And PC.

Of course hard drives are great until they don’t work any more. So this review is just for ease of use etc. Hopefully this WD portable HD will keep running for many years to come. I can retire my older, less reliable drives by transferring their content to this drive. The thing I love most about current portable HD drives is that they are USB powered. This drive provides 2TB at a great price, it’s very quiet and looks good. Current digital cameras produce very large files so it’s great to get all that capacity in this nice compact HD. By accident I ordered the Windows version of this drive even though I have an Apple PC. But WD had really excellent instructions for how to reformat this drive for Apple using my computer’s built-in Disk Utility program. I followed the step-by-step instructions and got it up and running in just a few minutes. I was impressed with how good the instructions were (including screen shots) The best thing is that I didn’t have to return the product to B & H.

This is a nice little hard drive, and is perfect for someone like me that likes to make regular backups of my computer. It’s USB powered so there’s no wall wart to deal with, and it is as quiet as can be. Good to have something that’s not overly complicated.

This is one of those purchases that needs years before you determine it’s value to you. I had a previous WD External hard drive that dropped dead in two years so I realize I need 2 back ups. But for the present..it was easy to get set up, back up went smooth and does it’s daily back up on time.

Great item to have to save my raw files.

This is WD’s latest, beleived it would stay within my trust level.Utilties are great but not the free Cloud upload as their terms state that it may get terminated at anytime no notice, so I never get excited about their clever ad. Their drive utilities can save your day before this HDD develops any bad sectors. Be careful when you use the Security Utility to setup password protected HDD, you can’t get the data back if you forget the password. I have made this HDD as my external boot drive with few partitions and two of which are FAT32 (cross platform compatibility). Totally a must have if you would really need an angel to protect your back.
