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 was easy to use, offered quick data transfer and was impressively small in size for being a 1TB drive. We transferred a ton of video and photos prior to updating our computer from Window 7 to 10 and it provided peace of mind.

It was difficult to install the WD 5TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type- C External Hard Drive for our Mac, and we had problems being able to log in to register it….We had to call Apple Care for them to install it….. Although installation and communication were difficult, it seems to be working well.

Nice drive size, great that it is powered by the USB port, however only capable of 3.6GB of storage. Window drivers for 64 bit system will cause Page_Fault_In_Nonpage_Area, DPC_watchdog_violation when you restart, reboot, or recover from sleep. I would not buy this until a new version of firmware is available for it. I have a 3GB Passport and it is firmware v2, it does not have this problem. WD is no help at all.

Amazed at the form factor and performance. Able to play HD videos with no issues. Solid construction and quality all around.

I bought this to backup my Macbook Pro. I’m a Graphic Design student so I don’t have that much to put on it right now, the 2TB is a good size for me at the moment and all I had to do was plug it in and Time Machine did the rest. It runs a little hot when you first set it up, but after it’s done with that it runs pretty smooth.

WD is always my preferred drives. It never disappoints me. I bought this 2TB My Passport Ultra for daily backup. It works great & zero failure rate! I’ve been using it for 7 months now. This is not my first WD portable / external HD. My very first WD external drive was bought in 2010. I have four WD drives before getting this one. I’m still using all of them for both my Mac machines and Windows laptop. I also had Seagate, Buffalo and Maxtor but all died before (sigh).

I have ordered a Portable Hard Drive. I received the disk on time and the service 5 stars. Definitely, I will order more items from this store.

I have been using WD Passport drive since they started at 500gb and the newest is now 5TB in the Ultra line. The unit comes with one cable USB-C, but they use a nice little adapter for USB-A that plugs one. The drive is fast for a unit that has no power supply. There is WS Security software that will encrypt all your files and keep everything safe. I have not had one of these go back unlike Seagate which is why I keep buying WD. Get a little padded case cheap on Amazon and you can take this drive with you anywhere. Great drive, get one you won’t be sorry.

I’m using my passport as a backup device. I like the size, it’s small enough to take with me when I leave the house. Living close to the Gulf that’s a plus. I also like the 1TB capability.

I prefer WD Hard Drives as they are reliable and cost effective. This little USB drive is no exception, however I am not that impressed with the speed given that this drive is based on USB 3.0. It must be a 5400 RPM drive since the transfer rates are dismal when copying large amounts of data and that is why I only gave it a Three Star rating. I use it as a long term archive so no big deal but let the buyer beware.

Another quality WD product, Connected immediately and fast as expected, no problems. The device itself seems pretty solid, I purchased a solid case to ensure that it is protected from general hazards like water and dirt. Once plugged in, the HDD offers various applications to protect and backup information as promised by WD. I am very happy with this product and look forward to getting rid of my old WD my book, which is taking up more space than I care to use.

We bought a few of these to keep our project workflow more organized for our video production company and they are perfect! They are fast, reliable and a great price. It’s pocket sized which makes it easy for travel. We plan on purchasing more of these portable hard drives for future video projects.

Purchased a 2tb to go along with my 1tb I bought over a year ago – Perfect travel drive. Keeps everything backed up just fine.

Not a SSD, but for the price and capacity it is excellent. Download speed is not that bad and works very well as an Time Machine for my Mac Mini. Good product, good pricing from B&H, I would recommend without hesitation.
