Description
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 have a stack of WD externals, and they are tremendous. I did, however, learn an expensive lesson not long ago. I am a Mac guy, and you MUST dismount the HDs before unplugging. This may sound elementary, but a lot of people hot swap and if you are, you’re running full speed toward the cliff. I lost 2 months of work and a complete portrait session with Jerry Tarkanian. All lost and not recoverable due to HD crash caused by hot swapping. ALWAYS dismount your HDs on a Mac or you are asking for catastrophe.

I use the drive for my GoPro video processing and the drive is surprisingly fast

I used this on a Mac for Time Machine backup. It did not come formatted to use out of the box, but a simple web search for initializing and formatting will get you going. The drive has performed well so far, and of course B&H delivery was simply the best.

Can’t say much about anything that has not happened yet. But I can say it’s a solid drive. It’s not as fast as an SSD but it gets the job done and does it without raising the ambient room temperature. It’s a quiet little guy. Almost reminds me of a Prius.

Nice to have it

I needed a portable HD for a upcoming vacation. This came across as a deal and could not pass it up. It is USB 3.0 so it is fast and WD is reliable. Win Win all the way around.

Gets the job done

It is compact, portable and works well. This is the second one I have owned with no problems. I have had significant issues with lack of support for a WD MyBook Live Duo networkwork drive but not with the My Passport Drives.

I used and will continue to use for storing my digital images. I like the size of the Passport,both the physical size and the 3TB. I have many images that I like to save and this little passport just fits the bill!!

I have a windows computer at home and mac at school. I transfer all of my photos on windows interface and edit them on the mac. I had to ask an IT staff to reformat the drive so I could write to it on mac, he spent several hours on it and when he brought it to me he said Nightmare, never again. Other than that it serves the purpose of portable drive pretty well.

Excellent for HD video editing

So far works great with Mac OSX. I just reformatted it.

This is my second WD Passport, the last was bought in 2007 and is still working great, though only 160 gigs. New drive has a fast transfer and looks to be solidly built.
Henry Hermiston (verified owner) –
Love these drives! I buy them 3 at a time so that I can run backups on multiple computer. One is the main drive and the other 2 act as a backup. They are well priced and very dependable. I will continue to buy them and as the sizes get larger, I will get those as well.

I replaced an old Passport, due to not enough space. It was simple to install and get up and running. Backups have run fine.
Manuela Harvey (verified owner) –
Quality filter. Well made. More than reasonable price.
Wilbert Stanton (verified owner) –
The HDD is always disconnecting and reconnecting, not good at all
Aidan Hyatt (verified owner) –
Plug and play… worked correctly out-of-the-box. 2Tb storage allows for multiple full system images as well as large data backups.
