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 do weekly full backups. This works like a charm. I don’t use the bundled software or services – but these may be very useful for other people!

Trust it so much to have bought three of them so far.

This is a great drive that was easy to get setup. The backup software that comes with the drive works nicely. The drive was a lot thicker than the lesser capacity models.

WD external drives are my favorite and this one is no exception. I purchased it because I have some problems with a Seagate drive in my toaster and wanted to make sure that I had at least 2 backups for my photos.

It’s beautiful to look at and it works perfectly for me. My only disappointment is that SmartWare backup software was not on the drive, although if you already have the software it will be recognized. Service for the productless was faultless, as usual.

A great backup system with easy to use backup software. Purchased for my freshman son in college. A family friend, who was a senior in college, had their laptop stolen a few months ago. Buying a new laptop was easy. Her biggest issue was losing all her personal documents (notes, research papers) and electronic textbooks. The ebooks were expensive to replace and the lost notes were irreplaceable. We decided to purchase our son a backup system that was easy to use. The WD Passport Ultra allows you to set a schedule for backup (set it and forget it). Ten minutes after opening, my son had his backup scheduled. You can also use the cloud. Compatible with USB 3.0, file transfer appeared very quick (backward compatible with USB 2.0 too). It fits into a shirt pocket so my son had no problem slipping it into a pocket in his backpack. It also came with a pouch to protect the unit. Overall, a great backup option for someone who values their files.

It is a small, high-speed, rugged disk and the adapter works very well for usb connectors. Ideal for Mac users. Es un disco pequeo, de alta velocidad, resistente y el adaptador funciona muy bien para conectores usb. Ideal para usuarios Mac.

This is a very cool looking drive that is compact but yet has enough storage to back up multiple computers with huge drives in them. The included software is extremely user friendly. I am very relieved that I am finally backing up my drives with this unit which I keep locked in a fireproof box in a separate location for safekeeping.

I get one of these for every project that needs a backup. They are fairly low in cost, fast enough to make some minor video editing changes, and small enough to carry around easily with my laptop.

Western Digital is a great product. These work really well and are very simple to install. I have used WD for several years and I am very satisfied with the way they work.

Transfers data fast (as long as you have a USB 3.0 port) and it is very compact. No power supply – just plug it in and you are set. Looks like a very good product. So far I am impressed.

I use this hard drive as my portable backup drive. It’s very small, light. fast read/write. Never failed.

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.
