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.

Great drive, I’ve had these and the smaller ones for years. Reliable drives, traveled well with me, just protect from large shocks.

I’ve been using the 1, 2 and 3TB versions of this drive for years, I have at least 6 of them. I edit HD video with Premiere Pro directly from the drive and notice no speed issues. I should also knock wood, especially after writing this review, because I have never had one fail.

It does the job. Plus the matte finished helps with finger prints. I’ll end up getting more of these soon.

Works as expected however I had to contact Western Digital because the software would not work with Windows 10. Easy fix but I’m glad I caught it. It looked like everything was backed up but you couldn’t open the files.

Use them as backup device. I make copy of my data to disk every month. Good price. So final price to store backups is low.

I’ve had WD Passports for years. The last one I bought was in 2016 and it feels like good quality, good weight, it’s silent, and after 4 years of daily use it’s still going strong. However, this one sounds like a jet engine starting up. Seriously, it’s a white noise machine. The description also mentions aluminum but don’t get your hopes up, it feels like a cheap piece of hollow plastic. Sure, it’s fast, and undoubtedly the drive quality is the same as it’s always been….but come on WD, try harder.

Works good – hard to tell how long it will run, but easy initial set up for PC and easy to wipe and reformat to work w/ a Mac using disk utility.

Nothing standout remarkable here but what is there seems solid and runs just quickly enough to not feel slow. If it remains stable over time I will be please with the purchase.

When I plugged it in… had to go into the C drive to open each WD file to allow it to run. No window popped up.

1TB for under $ bucks in a super-compact form-factor. Very please. Was recognized by my iMac immediatley, I formatted with with Disk Utility, and have been using it to clone my main drive with no problems. Very quiet, and the fit and finish is nice, too.

So far so good. It does its job…plus it’s raspberry colored. 3 TB…this year’s backup for last year’s files…and each year the capacity goes up but the price remains constant…a dream come true.
