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.

Well, I can understand why this has been discontinued, the most unreliable drive I have ever purchased by WD. Drive failed after less than 6 months. As this was my primary iMac Time Machine backup drive this could have been catastrophic. As it is I had to spend $200 and 2 days having the drive rebuilt so I could get my data. Now very concerned with the half-dozen smaller capacity WD drives I’ve recently purchased.

This portable hard drive is very versatile and portable. I’m using this drive to backup my photos. Originally I was using an external drive and a port for my backups, however, that’s extra wires and setup that I have to deal with. With the WD passport, I can easily just plug in and do what I need. The only issue is that it takes maybe 30 secs to a minute for the computer to recognize the drive. I also own an older version of the 2TB WD passport and that took way less time for the computer to recognize.

I’ve never had one of their drives go bad, but the software user manual reads like a text for geeks. I’ve always had a futile time understanding it. I usually just blunder ahead and hope I’m doing it right.

the passports drive are outstanding and I am big fan. Unfortunately when i read Ultra Portable on the site contrasting with the old model I understood it would be MORE portable than the old model I have – IT’S NOT. Even the picture shows a slighter device but when it comes to a 2TB the size is the same and the old 2TB device… I little frustrated.

Plugging in the drive ran the software and started backing up. No sweat!

This is a lot of storage in a very compact package. I don’t use the software that comes with it. It works fine by just plugging it in. I love that there is no power cord and brick with it.My only complaint is that it is advertised as 2 TB but only 1.8 TB is actually accessible. This is standard practice, but I would like to see some truth in advertising.

A few weeks ago I copied approximately 2.5TB to my new WD 3TB without any problem. I access the drive on a daily basic. It is connected to my MacBook via a powered USB 3 hub.
