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 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!

This is a nice, compact drive that is also aesthetically pleasing. It worked great once I got it connected, but I had to replace the included USB C cable in order to do that. The connections were very loose, and ill-fitting. Drive would not mount until I changed the cable.

I am using this to maintain a system back up of my Windows 10 desktop. It is fast and takes minutes to back up my entire C drive.

I use the drive to back up photographs on my desktop computer and also to act as the primary repository for photographs on my laptop. It replaces a smaller WD disk that I have outgrown. I appreciate the size, speed, and durability of the Passport, particularly when traveling with the laptop.

So far it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. I am the little concerned about how tight the fit is between the cable and the hard drive have decided to leave he connected all the time.

Pluged it and started using the HDD for back ups. It has a fast transfer rate with USB 3, personally would like a thunderbolt port, however, it is limited by the HDD speed rather than by the USB transfer rate.
