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 my external hard drives to back up files, particularly photos.. I already own several of these Western Digital drives and am very satisfied with their performance. Since I use both pcs and macs, I reformat my drives using exFAT. I always purchase my electronics from B&H because they deliver the items quickly and are also responsive to my questions.

I am a photographer, I used to take nearly 300 pictures a week and each image would be around 30mb of size (since i use RAW mode to capture the photo). I need this hard drive to take a backup of my photo’s. The hard drive is too fast to copy the photos and very reliable.

Simply a really good external drive. I reformatted to MAC and took off creating a drive full of client image as a year end summary! They love it and and it’s an inexpensive and compact drive. Have not had a problem with any of mine.

I love this product. Transportable, Affordable, Big Storage space. The only real problem is it isn’t all that fast. But if you are a bit patient. That’s fine. I use it for business applications and film transfer. So far, so good.

This 1.5TB drive does exactly what I needed it to do -back up my Mac with timemachine and all my photos. I have a LOT of photos and wanted them all in one place. I considered getting a 2TB drive, but for the price, this one won out. It worked great with a quick reformat for my Mac. I simply transfered a couple of the pertient documents to the computer and had timemachine reformat the drive. The only thing I dislike is the flashing blue light on the drive (only when it seems to be asleep). I only notice it at night, so I can live with it. Other than that, I don’t even realize it’s sitting right in front of me.

This hard drive is great for digital storage and computer backups. The bus-powered drive uses a USB 3.0 connection, which is fine for copying data, but will not be fast enough for editing video. But alas, that’s not what this is for. Physically, the drive is impressive to look at. Very compact with nice lines. The connections are sturdy as well. I use this drive for backing up my computer and storing large amounts of digital photographs, and it’s great for that. I use this drive with a MacBook Pro. it works fine, but you will need to reformat the drive before using it with Apple computers.

This little brick has been a lifesaver! After my Macbook Pro died, it temporarily resuscitated and I was able to retrieve all my files–which are now being used on both my Windows systems and my Chromebook. The size is great, as it fits right in my pocket, and it has been wonderfully efficient.

The price is right, it’s small, and it’s bus powered. I use these as transfer drives to get video footage to clients. They’re not really fast enough to edit from, but they help get footage from one place to another.

Arrived quickly and well packaged like every order from B&H. I reformatted for my MacBook with a single partition and then used Carbon Copy to move 1TB from a failing Seagate 2TB external 3.5 HD. I have not measured performance but I can say that all my photos are on this drive and accessed from Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Performance is acceptable for me. The portability is perfect. Its much easier to carry than an external desktop case. I backup several times a week using CC to a 4TB external USB 3 Hitachi TOURO. I have SAFETYNET on so that any error such as accidental delete of a file can be recovered. Its a good setup for just over a couple hundred dollars.
