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.

Since WD designed this My Passport Ultra drive for Windows, it comes preformatted NTFS for Windows 10, 8.1, and 7.

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.

My marketing system uses 34 computers. To keep our systems working properly we store and save essential files. These detached hard drive are a life saver. I’ve got four of them now, and they make my life easier. They have saved my butt many times. They make it easy to move files, from one machine to another.————-

This hard drive it is very small and it doesn’t need external power. It is very fast and it comes with USB-C adapter to USB 2, so I can use it on my MacBook Pro and my older iMac.

Easy set up and everything worked perfectly. I have a Mac so all I needed to do was reformat it and I was good to go. Transfer speeds were super fast. And it’s perfect for travel.

The external hard drive works as advertised on my Mac. I haven’t measured the data transfer speeds, but it felt pretty quick. My only complaint is that the cable supplied with the hard drive didn’t work. I tried plugging it in multiple ports but no luck. Luckily I had a USB C to USB C phone charger cable that came in handy.

I’m only giving 4 stars due to speed. Despite being USB 3 and being plugged into a USB 3 port, it runs at fairly close to regular USB speeds (18mb/s). My other USB 3 drives consistently run 3-5 mb/s faster. That said, setup was simple and transferring my entire photo library (225K images) went off without a hitch (took about 28 hours). I have other WD drives and none have failed me yet, and I hope for the same quality here. I use this as my 3rd drive for my photo library and Lightroom catalogue and stash it in a fire safe at home. When I travel, I stash a drive in the fire safe, one in my office at work, and one stays by my computer at home. Compact, high capacity drives like this one are just the ticket for portable library backup, but are a bit slow to use as working drives. All in all, this is an elegant, well built, very compact drive with huge capacity. Definitely recommended.

Other than it getting a bit warm when it runs for a long time, I have no other issues.

I have two of these to back up my data and photo files. I alternate backing up between them on at least a weekly basis, more frequently if I am gernerating a lot of files or doing alot of photo processing. That wasy I am never going to lose more than a week of data out if something happens and I have a major hard drive failure. I picked this because: (1) it was affordable; (2) it is easy to use (just plug it in and let it interface with your computer for you; (3) compatible with both USB 2.0 (for my almost obsolete current computer) and USB 3.0 for the one I am almost ready to buy; (4) plenty of storage for my current needs; (5) compact and easily transportable. It is not meant to be continuously plugged in to your computer. Unplug it when not actiely backing up. Otherwise, get one. It’s nuts to not have your data backed up if you have things on your computer that you don’t want to lose.

I bought this drive to backup my laptops loaded with Window 7 and Windows 8.1. Just plug the drive into a USB 2 or 3 port and in a few seconds it’s ready. I’ve created a system image as well as a copy of my user files. I haven’t used the included backup software so I really can’t comment about it. It’s small, light and comes with its own pouch and cable. They’re fairly inexpensive so I bought a couple of them. I’ve only had them for a couple of weeks so I really can’t talk about their predicted reliability. I keep them on a cool metal surface when they’re running just to keep them cool.

Drive is small and sleek with tons of storage at 2TB. Unit recognized with no issue and ready to go as soon as you plug it in. Wanted to use this to store video files while working at school. Meets all expectations.
