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.

This is like my fourth drive. It performs as advertised. Like with my other drives first thing I do is to reformat it with exfat file system: can use it with Mac and Windows computers. Only ‘negative’ thing that I can say is that the connection cable that comes with it is too short …you can’t even sit the disc either on the floor or on top of the tower …I guess for laptop use the length would be. Still, five stars. Buy a case to carry it around.

I got this because I need a backup hard drive and the discount price was great. It does the job will and looks really nice. So far, I don’t have any problems with it. Hope it can keep it that way.

All my mobile external drives are Western Digital and they have never let me down so far. This includes this drive that I use as backup drive since December 2018. Never had any problems with WD drives. I can only recommend these…

I knew nothing and still know nothing about external hard drives and how to do much with them, but I wanted to make sure I had something to store pictures and documents in case my PC stopped working. After reading on line reviews, I figured this was the item to get. Great price and massive storage. I was able to move everything that I wanted from my C drive to this portable drive. It didn’t come with any instructions, but it didn’t have to. It was really easy. I’ll admit that I did a youtube search for a demo of the drive. It was as easy as they showed on the video on youtube. I don’t know how to copy my entire operating system if I wanted to do that, but I’m sure I could find out how. The thing is really quiet and small. I can carry it in my coat pocket if need be. I don’t know the difference between moving items from one PC to this unit and an actual backup of info, but I’m sure I can find it on line. For my needs, this was very easy to use. Hopefully it lasts forever.

Great transfer speeds with USBC but low build quality.

Just replaced the same 2TB used for 3 years (still running) with this 3TB model. All good and decent speed with USB3

Since my 2TB Seagate crashed on a trip … with lots of photos … I decided to buy 2 of the 1TB size … and make my photos are always backed up. So far … the WD external HD’s are working and saving photo files … but ALL hard drives can fail … make sure you have a back up!

First, let me say that product arrived quickly, even w/free shipping. It set up in nothing flat and was working quickly. I am impressed w/B&H, their products and cost.

Have had this for a couple of years now. Seems to work fine. Plug and play. Have used with Vista and Windows7. Mostly use it for backing up data, and transferring files between computers. I have only used it a few times each year.

I bought two of these because they were on sale. For the price, they are not bad hard drives.

Great lightweight drive for backup. Removed all the added software to maximize disk size. Saved the software in case of future use.

This drive is small but works great! The files transfer over quick and the 2tb space is worth the money!
