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 a bunch of these drives by now, and keep buying more… I use them to store video and photo files while in the field, and then finally as an archive for a completed project. Never had a problem, they work hard and have a long life.

Excellent drive for data on the go. Small – light and fast.

Compact, works faithfully and quiet. I average maybe 85Mbps using the drives with my Asus All-In-One desktop computer. I have 4 of these drives plugged into a corded HUB. But my speeds are the same, whether plugged into the HUB or directly into the computer. I stream movies from the drives with no problems and transfer files on and off the drive continuously with no problems. I have put each of my 4 drives in the Western Digital Nomad hard case and they do not overheat and stay new looking. I recommend buying these drives. Now I’m wanting to buy one of the metallic ones!

When debating to upgrade my 500 MB Passport I knew I was looking at at least 2 TB of storage and a USB 3.0 powered portable external hard drive.Like my other Passport, this is a solid build and will be connected to my laptop unless I need to take it somewhere. Very unobtrusive. Love the color. Not sure if for the extra money it’s worth the cloud storage, but it is slick.If you’re looking for benchmarks, here they are:———————————————————————–CrystalDiskMark 3.0.2 x64 (C) 2007-2013 hiyohiyo Crystal Dew World : MB/s = 1,000,000 byte/s SATA/300 = 300,000,000 byte/s Sequential Read : 111.920 MB/s Sequential Write : 107.535 MB/s Random Read 512KB : 40.201 MB/s Random Write 512KB : 55.535 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=1) : 0.534 MB/s 130.4 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=1) : 1.324 MB/s 323.2 IOPS Random Read 4KB (QD=32) : 0.582 MB/s 142.0 IOPS Random Write 4KB (QD=32) : 1.358 MB/s 331.4 IOPS Test : 1000 MB G: 0.0% (0.4/1863.0 GB) (x5) Date : 2013/08/25 21:39:14 OS : Windows 7 Home Premium Edition SP1 6.1 Build 7601 (x64)I love having an external hard drive power through the USB port. The Essentials line was a little cumbersome trying to plug things in with all the other devices out there.Look forward to backing up my system, my 18,000 songs,am still having close to a terabyte left for years to come.

I bought this 5TB Passport Ultra to provide backups for my new MacBook Pro and for transferring some of my necessary information from my previous MacBook Pro to my new one. It’s very easy to use and did exactly what I needed it for.

Small, compact, requires no AC power. Purchased this for my iTunes music and photos. It meets all of my expectations for a portable device. I may get another as it is more convenient than having to take laptop to desk where I keep my 3 other external hard drives.

It is attractive and quiet, holds all the entertainment I need for a month in the field.

I’m hoping to find a different cable but the one that came with this hard drive doesn’t plug into any USB-C ports
