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 product is great for storing tons of photos, videos, documents and more! It holds much memory and VERY worth the amount of money. Would definitely (and plan on it) buying more in the future!

Find this product very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Would have liked some kind of a user manual to be included with product.

I am an advanced senior citizen without grandchildren to help me, so computer stuff does not come easy. However, I researched these external hard drives and decided that this WD Passport had great reviews and everybody said it was easy to connect. I was expecting that it would take me most of the day to get it connected and operating, but it took only about 15 minutes. It works great! Wow, maybe I will try something else now.

Fast, easy set up, great product for the price. I got the nomad case too for it which fits it snugly. Highly recommended for those who need more space!

I like this drive, as it is very small and holds 2 terabytes of material for a very affordable price. I have taken it on film shoots and it is very easy to pack. The drawback I have seen so far is that, because of its small size, it has only one port, a small USB3. More ports always mean more flexibility. So far I have had no problems and would recommend it.

The drive works fine but I was misled by the title ultra portable and did not check the spec for its thickness. It is thicker than most of the external portable drives I have.

I bought this to clear up space on both PC and Laptop. This holds everything and then some. I have plenty of space to add more to it. I will be purchasing another one for my photography. I haven’t found anything that I am not happy with.

I have several of these drives for backups and travel photos. The USB 3 speed is nice. You need to be careful to align the cord plug wit the drive receptacle to not cause damage. The WD software for testing the drive is reasonable but I wish it would give more info than just passed. It would be nice to have details about the results like if any bad sector are found, how many tested etc. If the plug in was a bit more reliable/easy and the test software gave more info, I would rate this 5 stars instead of 4.

You have to really jam the connector pieces together or else your Mac won’t read it but once set up it works great!

Great for storing large projects. Fast enough for editing HD onboard, but not 4k.

I bought it and it was exactly what I was expecting, small, enough power for its use, and just great overall.

Used for Xbox one external storage. Works great.

I have many 2 and 3 TG and never had problem up until now. The reviews on the net for seagate are not as good. Many said problems often occur within 2 years.

This drive is everything I expected and wanted it to be–large capacity, small size, fast USB3.0 data transfer, and quiet. Reliability cannot be judged until the drive has performed for many years.

High speed, robust, and cheap. Great way to get footage to and from the editor!
