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.

So far I’m really liking the drive. The size is decently portable and it does have quite a bit of space. It’s a tad slow, but somewhat expected for a drive of this class. I used the backup software which seems to run smoothly enough, but only time will tell if it works. I hope this will last me for quite a few years.

I use this product as external storage, mostly for photographs. What is great about it is the large amount of storage to store large files. I do not use the software included since most systems have an automatic backup system available.

WD hard drives are the only drives that have never crashed on me, they start up quickly, and are always a value. A simple and rugged choice for backing up your work or using it to store files you will be working on.

Looks nice. Works as intended. Not packaged very well. Good bubble wrap but only on top side of box, not all around hard-drive package.

I work between an office and my home and need an easy way to transport large files. I use a 1TB drive for work and bought a 2TB drive for myself. This has done the trick and is very easy to use. I did need to reformat the drive for a Mac which is also easy to do. I just looked up the directions on line and it took about a minute.

To date I’ve only run one data transfer, but I’m happy with how that went.

Great value for its price. This model is really for Mac and was instantly useable with my Macbook Pro. USB 3 is fast and reliable!

I only buy plug n play WD drives as not one has ever played up on me now my family only buy them to.

Easy to use, plug and play on my Win7 machine, and no software required to use the basic functions. Right out of the box I have put over 1.1TB of backup data on it.The price per TB is good for this 1.5TB My Passport. I especially like the small size and the build quality. The shell is made of plastic, but the touch and feel both make me like this little portable drive (which holds big data!)I have an old WD My Passport (320GB) portable drive for 6 years, still running no problem. That gives me some confidence on buying this new one.

Great value for a good price, good size. Will get another one in a few months.

Very easy to install and the initial backup took about 20 minutes. The backup software is installed on the drive. The actual available storage is closer to 1.36 than 1.5 but so what. It’s still huge.

strong vibration of the body from the rotation of the spindle

Got it for my daughter that is going to college. Small, fast, cheap and reliable.

I got this hard drive for a system backup. I am checking to see how it works with Apple’s Time Machine. So far it is working very well. I will then get another one just like it to rotate Off-site to protect my data. This is in addition to a cloud storage.

Use the system for backing up extensive photo files. Loads RAW and TIFF files reasonably quickly with USB 3.0. Good auto-backup utility and useful system security capability. Very reliable storage.
