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.

Got this during Thanksgiving deals, for the price I paid it’s great! Feels sturdier than other portable HDD’s out there, especially once it’s in a case! Time will tell whether it’s any good, but so far it’s great.

Really happy with the storage size for the price (I got it on sale, so even more of a bargain). This is now I believe my 4th WD brand external hard drive, and I think the 3rd I’ve bought from the My Passport line. Never had any issues with any of the My Passports, and so far this new one is holding up just as well as my now 5ish year old ones. The only downside, which has nothing to do with the hard drive itself or the company… I bought this for my PS5, and found out after the fact that externals can only be used to store PS4 games. I had purposely gone for 5TB assuming I would need massive amounts of storage for extremely large PS5 games. It’s okay though, I’m sure I’m still going to rinse through storage space with PS4 games anyway– it’s never a bad idea to buy the larger storage size. Just pointing it out in case anyone else had the same idea I had.

I’m a professional wedding photographer and use my portable HD to back weddings up- especially when traveling. Since I’m a location based photographer- this comes in VERY handy. I have 3 other WD HD’s and I love the easy functionality and dependability of them. It is also light, small, compact, and self-powered, which is great when I’m not by a power source other than my laptop. I feel the price is spot-on, and what I would expect to pay when depending on something to hold and store something so precious- like wedding pictures. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs something portable, as a back-up, or just extra space for storage.

Compact and fast: USB 3.0. I transferred 500GB from another storage unit very quickly and easily. Use it often for my backups: so far so good.

I’ve been a graphic designer for more than 10 years now and I’ve had many Western Digital drives. The only reason I have ever needed to get rid of them wasn’t because they failed but because they no longer have enough capacity for backing up everything from newer computers. The Passport series in particular have been great. I use this 1.5tb drive to make daily backups of my work files to backup offsite. I’ve only used this on Macs so I can’t really say how good the on board software is but the drive itself is sturdy and quiet.

I use hard drives like this for taking audio and video files on the road, and for sending clients large video files. Before doing anything else with the hard drive, I use Apple’s disk utility to partition it into two partitions, and prepare it for use with our Mac computers at the studio. The proprietary software that comes installed on the drive is a nuisance for me, and prevents me and my clients from using it transparently. I’m not worried in my professional life about somebody accessing this drive’s contents and stealing or corrupting them. I’m thinking more of ease-of-use for my studio staff and for my clients, and the Apple disk utility lets me set the drive up quickly and efficiently.

I have several of these drives that I use for photography. Carry them around and occasionally drop them. Work flawlessly.

I wanted a large capacity hard drive that didn’t need external power. I have used Western Digital Passport drives before and have been very pleased. This drive is USB-C and fast. It’s simple, just attach the cable, plug it in and it just works. B&H has a great price. I’m glad with this purchase.

I love these, they are lite, they hold a ton of pictures, you can take them with you when you’re out. I cant say enough good things about these drives. I have a couple of them and never any issues. I use one for my main library catalog in lightroom, and another for the backup.
