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.

Everything I have bought from the store has the best value.

The value for the hard drive is insane. It’s 5tb and the material of the hard drive is solid.

If you’re looking for a basic, easy-to-use backup drive at a reasonable price, this is it!

Plugged it in, and started using it. That simple.

Small, durable and serves it’s purpose. I store my projects shot in 4K on here. I also edit straight from my software to the HD and it works fast and has no lag. For the price, GET IT. It’s awesome. Also – Don’t Forget to Format.

I bought this unit as a replacement for my previous 2TB My Passport Ultra, which unfortunately stopped working (and lost all information stored) after falling from the sofa I was sitting on. I know that HDDs are not SDDs, but WD could at least equip such portable units with a more rugged construction, capable of withstanding minor falls. It is a very good product, but it has to be handled with care!

I use it for back-up and storage of my pictures and music. It is a good portable hard drive and for the price I think I got a good deal.

I use it for backing up my files on a daily basis. 2TB is just right for me. The write/read speed is fast since it’s USB3.0 ready. WD is always my first choice!

This is the silver version which I thought might match my MacBook Pro but it doesn’t really as it has a slight blue cast to it. This doesn’t worry me though as I didn’t buy it as a matching accessory. I bought it because I have a camera which produces 50mb RAW files and 10mb jpegs. So I wanted plenty of capacity, which this has by the bucket load. My preference was for a 4TB disk as I have read bad press on the 3Tb ones in general, not specifically from WD. I also have an older 2TB version in blue which is looking worn after 2 years of abuse in my bag but I didn’t notice this until I put the new one alongside, so I have the same expectations of this one. They are both sturdy looking units and the metal casing on all but the base makes these a must have if you need your portable drive to be rugged. I can’t fault the performance, with a USB 3 connection it zips through file transfers pretty quickly. Not quite as quick as my thunderbolt drive but out on the road speed isn’t really my priority, reliability is. If this unit is as reliable as my 2tb one I will be very very happy.

I purchased this due to a change in my Carbonite coverage and it was ideal for the application I had. Very simple to install and use.

I particularly like the USB-C connector. Previous old USB drives of mine have been so delicate, wiggle them and they blink and get dismounted. This is much better. And, it comes with an adapter to old USB. Cons: BUT, know how USB-C is nice in you can plug it in either way? Well, this stupid adapter only plugs one way. A cheat to save a few cents. And might violate some licensing agreement to de-feature USB-C that way. Bad move. I reformatted to use on Linux as a software encrypted backup.

I am a photographer and keep all my files on these external drives. The WD 5TB offers great capacity in a small lightweight package. These drives have always performed well for me.

I have 5 of these for storing wedding photos and they work great. I especially love the fact it runs off of phantom power.
