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.

Needed to get a larger drive, preferably USB-powered and as fast as possible, at an economical price. While I would have liked to have bought an SSD, they’re still pretty expensive compared to the Passport. I’m using it for my MacOS Time Machine backups as well as archiving other files that are suitable for near-line (versus on-line) storage.

Love how affordable a portable 4TB has become. I use these to backup my videos on long shoots. Due to experience, I always get two so one can backup the other if one breaks.

I’ve been buying Verbatim DVD+R discs for years and they are always a great price and great quality. No coasters here…

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.

This was purchased to hold the massive library of 4K videos and 20 to 50 Mp photos I will be taking with two new cameras I have preordered but have not yet received, as of the writing of this review. But in the meantime it makes me feel like a Bond villain. So I got THAT goin’ for me, which is nice.

Second one of these we own. Use one each to back up our computers.

This 4tb unit is hard to find anywhere except B&H Photo. Silver edition looks great and matches my laptop’s finish.

Not the biggest in capacity, but surely holds a lot for this price. Very quiet, reliable, won’t overheat, stores a ton.

Can’t beat 2TB for under $$. Fast USB 3.0 file transfer, for portable storage. A bit thicker then most portable drives but still overall an impressive device.I regularly purchase WD products and yet to have any major issues. Fairly responsive customer service as well.

I am doing a family history with a lot of graphics, photo and videos. I bought 3 of these drives – one for each of our daughter. The size – both physical and and capacity – is just what I need. Enjoy dealing with B&H as they are prompt and provide good value
