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.

The drive actually has more than 4TB of space (4,000,750,497,792 bytes when you right click Properties). Of course, Windows calls this 3.63 TB (calculated as 3.63 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024). The drive works approximately the same speed as my other USB 3.0 devices, which is the 50-100 MBs/sec range when copying from my fast camera SD card to the 4 TB drive. I’ve already copied about 1 and 1/3 TB of data to it without problems. It’s exactly what I expected based on the ad.

Arrived packed well and performed as expected. Software acceptable. Was not disappointed in performance or quality. Only draw back was unit had less than 4 TB. (3.5 TB) The 1 TB passport I am is full, so I got this for additional back-up. Would not purchase any other brand. Would have given 5 stars if storage was 4 TB.

Right out of the box, the drive would not connect to my Mac. The problem: the included USB-C cable would not fit tightly in the drive’s USB-C socket. Fortunately I had a cable that did fit tightly. Problem solved. HOWEVER the drive constantly disappears from finder after a varying period of time, making the files on it inaccessible. Data has not been lost, but I constantly had to unplug and replug the drive to access my data. (About half the time, safely ejecting the drive didn’t work.) After spending two long chats with WD tech support, and several hours trying to run their Disk Utility (which was unsuccessful since the disk would disappear in the middle), WD informed me that although the disk was only two weeks old, they could not replace it with a new one. This is the third or fourth WD branded disk that I have had, and every one of them has had some problem or another.

This unit has been helpful for moving into a new pc. Now I’ll use it as a drive to store files that require portability. Fast 3.0 transfer.

Love the portable size and great storage capacity. Easy to take anywhere and it’s fast to access all my stuff.

It’s not the fastest drive, but it holds a lot of 1’s and 0’s. I use it for backup of big video files. It takes about twice as long to transfer to then a raided drive, but it’s also smaller and bus powered.

Works as expected. I just use it for storing old files. It is fast and compact. I have another WD HD from a few years ago that still works well, so I expect the same reliability as that one.

Very fast USB 3. It is my all buckup devide.

It’s small, portable, seems to be well built and I’ve never had a problem with it! This is my third one I’ve purchased this year! Reasonable price for that much storage as well. I love having tiny drives that don’t clutter up my desk!

I needed a good external hard drive for pictures etc. Need it to work with an older tower and laptops. this fit the bill and works great
