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 bought this to back up my 400GB of photos that had almost totally filled up my main drive. It’s cheap insurance if you ever have a hard drive failure. Everyone needs a backup of the hard drive either externally or in a cloud somewhere. I prefer externally under my own supervision and control

WD external hard drives rule. So easy to use and reliable as can be. It’s a no-hassle no-brainer to go with WD. And the 5TB is not too chunky, either. The USB 3.0 makes it easy to use with my Mac.

Very happy with my purchase. I use it for backing up my iMac using Time Machine. Since it’s nice and sleek, it tucks nicely under my iMac. High capacity and sleek design makes this a winning product!

I bought two of this for Mac and PC backup. It works perfectly, and the speed with USB 3.0 is amazing. I buy WD Hard Drive when I need an upgrade or an external disk, and ever it has excellent performance.

I decided on using Western Digital My Passport Ultra for Mac 2 TB as exclusive external hard drive for Time Machine on my iMac. I have also used WD My Passport for Mac 2 TB as exclusive for my MacBook Pro. Both were easy to install simply by Google search for instructions How to install Time Machine on external drive. No instructions come in the package box. Both are working automatically. I’m happy with each!

I needed an external hard drive so this has worked about well.

Received exactly what I ordered in perfect condition. You’ll have to reformat the drive if using a mac but it was a cinch (boot your mac in safe mode) and use the disk utility.

This works fine with my Mac. This particular one I’m using to back up financial records. I have another this size for photos & videos and a larger one I use for Time Machine backups. They do fail over time and so I’ve learned that buyer the cheaper ones with less storage makes sense since they’ll likely have to be replaced and I’ve usually not filled them by then. Keep multiple backups!

I am and IT person and vidcaster(video podcaster) among other things. I have two of these for temporary backup and editing on the go. I can consolodate an Avid project to the Passport and edit in a coffee shop or in my car. I have the Case Logic case for the one I take offsite to edit.They work well with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.I have clients rotating them offsite for backup. I recommend tape but the Passports work well if you rotate them, that is have two or three and it least one is offsite at all times.I am a big fan of these drives. My only complaint may be the short cable.

Used to backup WD desktop external hard drives. Prior to the Passport I used a second desktop external drive for backup and had to buy a second fireproof safe. Now the Passport takes the place of those hard drives and utilizes a fraction of the safe space. And when I need to retrieve a file the single USB/power source is far more convenient. I can also run the passport without a conflict with the desktop drive.
