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 always trusted Western Digital drives, and this one is no different. Like may others have found, the USB cable is a piece of junk. It doesn’t lock positively in place, and I replaced it with a much better one I already had. Problem solved.

I mostly use this when I have a special project or am traveling and need a backup. Haven’t really used it a lot but I’ve had no bugs or problems. Seem to work fast and quite user-friendly.

It works, and has some pre-loaded programs on it to assist with backups. The backup software needs to be a bit more intuitive IMO. Still running after one month. I do wish the drive light would just stop when in sleep mode, instead I just taped over the way too bright indicator so it would not illuminate the office after hours with a flashing glow.

The external hard drive is compact and has lots of storage space. I’ve backed up nearly two years worth of photos into the unit and freed up space on my computer hard drive.

I would not recommend this product. Sadly lost all of my backups within a month of using the hard drive. Working with Western Digital is really hard & not an easy process. I have used this brand for years, & the last couple of years it just seems as though the quality has dropped. Would suggest a different hard drive.

If I could turn back time I would not have got this WD 1TB Passport. It does not allow me to transfer files between my MAC & PC. So I use it as a backup storage that id offline when not in use.

Excellent value for personal backup. Hardware encryption is one critical feature that make this product suitable for backing up important & private information.

I purchased this version of WD’s Passport because it came with a USB-C plug with I needed for it to connect with my new iMac without an adapter. Initially there some problems with the formatting but this is now resolved and it works fine.

Excellent drive, was getting 100mps transfer on my photos and mp4 movies, camera videos I have taken. Was very please with the transfer rates and time it took. Will buy again when I get this close to full on the drive. Also love the tiny footprint of the drive. Takes up no room.

Well, it does pretty much what you expect of a hard drive. I bought because it’s cheaper than Lacie and G-drive, but still offers a very good performance and storage capability.

I have bought one before, and I bought it on this website again. The quality is guaranteed.

This is a great drive for backups, its fast and small

It is amazing how much smaller this 2TB drive is compared to my other 2TB drive from a few years ago. Portability is key.

As for the products performance, it works just fine. I was a little disappointed though when the product was bigger than i expected when it arrived. In the picture they are actually showing the 1TB model, the 2TB is actually twice the height. So, beware, if you are looking for a tiny drive, you will prob. be in for a shock when it arrives. Also, from the picture, it appears to be made with a metal outer shell, but it’s just plastic colored to look metal. The name titanium was misleading. I’m sure this is a great product functionally, but i was really hoping for a super small heavy duty drive, and it turned out to not be what i had hoped for.

Convenient when traveling and love the idea with the USB connection, no more AC adapter and looking for an outlet.

Lots of room for many, many images (I do photography), compact and light enough to travel l with everywhere.

I bought this HD for the sole purpose of backing up all my files from my PC to Mac and vice versa. Prior to purchasing the HD I looked trough pictures and thought it would be a slim HD, but when I received it it was thicker than I expected. However I am pleased at the speed and easy set up of the product. I get to back up all my college works and documents from both platforms at ease.
