Description
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.

Small size and fast 3.0 write speeds makes this a great drive for image and video storage. So pleased with it I plan to purchase a few more.

I use this product to store all of my raw footage and design files. The speed is excellent and I edit 4K video directly from this drive.

I’ve been using WD bus powered drives for 15 years now and have always been very satisfied with them. I just bought a new MacBook Air which has USB-C ports and all my other drives are only USB 2.0. The My Passport Ultra fits the bill perfectly, with the faster USB 3.2 gen 1 over a USB-C connection. WD is nice enough to provide a type C to type A adapter so I can connect the drive to other devices that are type A only, but it is designed to interconnect only with the WD provided cable. Since cables can fail or get lost, I’d prefer a cable and adapter not requiring a proprietary interlock method. While the drive has very fast read and write sppeds, easily 5X what my USB 2.0 drives can do with my new MacBook, a side effect of that speed is it gets very warm during large transfers, like a backup. It’s obviously not possible to have venting like larger, AC powered drives. Small transfers do not heat it up as much. Overall, very satisfied, docked one star for the USB adapter and heat issues. I would recommend this drive despite those flaws.

when i bought this it did not say clearly enough that it was only for windows. i had to phone the 1 800 number for WD to figure out how to format if for Mac. next time read carefully which system it is preformatted for.

Got my 1.5tb drive for my photos. Comes in handy for school. The drive works well enough, no problems so far. Never had any problems with WD. Little to no delay on use.

The product is easy to use. I have been transferring several GB data into this portable drive and the transfer was done in a few mins.

I mainly use it as travelling backup. – Super fast transfer rate – Travel reliabilty – Easy format with Mac OS
Armani Jacobson (verified owner) –
Fast device allowing to to transfer huge amount of data quickly. One bad thing is the fact that the Power/Activity LED is in the middle of the back where you cannot see it thus it is not easy to see if the disk is working.

I use this drive to back up another portable external drive which serves as my primary hard drive. I needed software that allowed this kind of continuous backup. The WD Smartware upgrade (which is free with this purchase) makes this possible allowing me to always have an up-to-the-minute backup. Backup software from two other hardware companies does not support this feature. This is the hard drive to get!

compact, light weight, no need for External power supply, data transfer rate adequate for back ups

I have bought 6 of these units and I have 2 left, and all the previous 4 failed. They start Clicking… and nothing can restore them… Absolute Garbage..!!

Love these Passport USB 3.0 drives. I own several in the last 2 years, and none have given me any issues so far. Nice not to have use a separate power cord.

Awesome hard drive with traditional WD quality. Sharp silver look.

I am a fan of Western Digital, but the last external I had was a few years old and was always quite slow. However, after doing my research, I found this My Passport HDD had a good capacity (1TB) to form factor proportion, has USB 3.0, AND comes with the PRO WD software included for under $100 bucks. No other manufacture offers all of that for that price (at least, as of this review). Needless to say, I wanted one and it turns out so did a lot of other people because everywhere it was sold out – even *! B&H was the only place I found them and I had heard good things. I was worried about shipping costs but there was a free option if you could wait a few days and I received my drive as promised. The drive is really fast (of course it will be slower using USB 2.0) and quiet and I love it so far!

My 1TB My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive is great. No more lugging around a large hard drive
Marlin Becker (verified owner) –
I own multiple of these drives and use them for video editing. They aren’t the fastest drives in the world but serve their purpose well. I will continue buying these until I find a better value. The wires have a tendency to go bad which makes you think the drive is failing but if you switch a different USB cable it seems to be fine.

The My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive is a wonderful product. Never fails to backup my files, and run smoothly. This is the second one I have purchased, and I will continue to buy in the future.
