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 own 2 of these drives and am using this one for video storage. As anyone working with video knows – you need space, and this device provides. USB 3.0 support is great. WD knows HDDs and their portable drives are more than capable.

Very good!

Software was annoying, it’s a little hard to figure out how to password protect the hard drive, and the hard drive should have come with some kind of case/pouch. But it works fine. And the design is attractive.

I needed a large external drive to backup files, photos, and systems. I already had a smaller WD external drive that I take on the road for use with Lightroom. However, in setting up the new one, and adding a password, it complicated the use of the second which was also attached to my system at the time. I managed to sort this out, but could have done without the complication.

This device is pretty easy to use once you understand the software and how it works — I’ve a fairly decent basic technical knowledge and I had a little trouble, but now all is great thanks to the amazing technical assistance at B&H!

I love this drive. It is fast, compact, and has 2TB of storage. The included backup software is automatic and very helpful. And the encryption gives peace of mind if the drive is ever lost or stolen. I highly recommend this drive.

I used this to backup user data when installing a new computer. It worked perfectly, everything went smoothly, and the data transfer was just what I needed.

The product arrived in a timely fashion and set up was easy. I reformat my HD’s for Mac once they arrive and as usual this was a breeze. Backing up my PC took some time but would’ve taken even longer if this wasn’t USB 3.0

I needed a space to put my photographs and this works really well. Fast. Left it plugged into a USB 2 port, no problems.

We use these hard drives to backup files from the past years and past clients. These are our go to backup drives and we own many of them. They travel well, are consistent and relatively fast. Also, they aren’t very expensive, so we don’t feel so bad having so many.

As a photographer, images take up a lot of space. I use this product to store images as a backup and a second set on Dropbox. Would not be without one.

I use this for backing my 4TB RAID. It is pretty fast and love the way it looks. When I ordered, I was told there was a week delay. But, surprisingly BH shipped the next day. Always great service and happy with the purchase.

It comes at a nice price and is fast enough. We’ll see how long it lasts. The backup software is junk and can’t detect the drive as a cloud on my Asus router.
