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.

Amazing deal. Great hard drive for pennies on the dollar!

3tb in a compact package without a plug in power supply. Unit is silent, stay’s cool, and works well. I’m using it attached to a USB 2 connection and it probably runs as fast as can be expected. I’m surt that it would be much faster connected through a USB 3 connection. I’m using it to back up photo files, so speed isn’t really a consideration for me. So far no problems.

Very large capacity, reasonably fast and quiet. Usb cord is a little short, and drive is thicker and heavier than smaller capacity drives.

Great hard drive. Fast drive writing. It is great to have the cloud backup option.

Like the headlines say. It delivers on the promise.

This was by far the least expensive per GB. Very easy to set up and use. The only reason for 4 stars (instead of 5) is that the software installs 3 separate programs instead of one: (1) security; (2) settings; (3) backup.

This 5TB drive was purchased to replace a WD 2TB portal USB drive, which built-in encryption. The included USB Type-C to regular USB adapter is perfect, as it allows me to connect to my laptop using USB Type-C and my desktop using the converter/adapter. I use it both for storing files and for performing a full image backup of my desktop PC and Laptop. Great product!

I have used this portable hard drive to share long segments of video with a colleague who is working on a film with me long distance. Easy to use and video quality is good.

This is a great little digital storage device. It’s compact, feels solid, has little rubber feet to help dampen vibrations, and comes in attractive colors. I use it to back-up for my photo catalog and drive images. My friend bought a Seagate 2 TB similar drive, but I still like mine better -though they are similar in performance and construction.

It is good product, needs Acronis backup software. It should include case since last time I ordered similar product made by WD it included traveling case.

I have a couple of these drives. They really come in handy for overflow storage when I need to be portable and they are also great as quick clone drives if you ever need to replace a drive. Not o big to keep handy.

I bought this to store my photo library on. You have to reformat it for Mac before using it. After that it works perfectly. Speed is good. I always buy WD now after having a couple seagates fail.

Western Digital has always been the best in my experience for hard drives.
