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.

Worked as advertised straight out of the box. I was looking for an external drive with at least 4TB storage (this has 5TB) that would interface with the Thunderbolt interface on my iMac 2020 and this fit the bill.

This drive is well built and comes with a three year warranty which I hope means it is built to last and with higher quality components.

Used to backup music library

Very user-friendly. No problems connecting, easily stored and easy to access all of my files.

I’ve purchased 2 of these to keep my computer backups safe. They allow me to perform backups at over 1Gbps across USB 3.0 and they have never failed me on any computer yet.

This is a back up for My Documents instead of using the cloud. The WD software is easy to use and easy to set up on multiple drives. Even my Seagate drives back up with WD and I like this better than Seagates back up software.

While the drive itself is great, it’s let down by the maintenance software that regularly gives up when doing full verification of the disk, and more annoyingly tells me there are RAID issues and hangs the computer yet it’s never even been formatted with RAID! I uninstall it, but it seems to come back…

This thing is super small, but yet so powerful. I got everything I need: 1. speed!(Wait? Isn’t reliable the most important thing? yes It is, but since I use WD drives all my life, I already forgot that WD is only hard drive brand I trust). USB 3.0 makes this little dude runs like a champion. 2. encryption. Since this is a portable hard drive, obviously I don’t want any stranger to be able to access it if I lost it. 3. Include Backup software for local & cloud storage. I love the blue LED indicator for hard drive activity. I tend to make sure that LED is not rapidly flashing, then click on the safely remove option then remove it. Instead my backup, now I’m trying to do the file/folder synchronization to keep the content same, at the same time don’t have to over write the files each time.

Great price and performance for portable drives. Robust too. Plays 4K footage like a breeze if you machine is up to snuff.
Kaden Schiller (verified owner) –
very good and quick access HD no concerns about storaging data in it. 4gb is a lot of space to backup my photo files

With a canon 5D Mark lll camera I needed a large hard drive to trace with and this was the perfect size.

I bought the 500GB My Passport Ultra to back up two PCs. I don’t have any video files, raw digital photos or other types of files that consume a lot of disk space, so 500GB is way more than adequate for me. My needs exceeded the capacity of smaller thumb drives (8GB, 16GB), so I figured it was time to go for an extrnal HDD, especially since they’re now so small and relatively inexpensive. I paid almost as much for my first thumb drive (4GB) as I did for this 500GB portable HDD! The drive is small, fast and Windows 7 (64 bit) installed the necessry driver and had it ready for use very quickly. I didn’t install any of the software included on the HDD. I do not like using backup software like WD’s SmartWare that stores data in a proprietary format. I don’t care that it can save space; space is not an issue for me and reliable access to my data is paramont. I used Bvckup 2 (Yes, thats a ‘v’ not an ‘a’.), which is simple, quick and efficient, and I can access my files with anything that has a USB port and can read files stored in NTFS. As I’ve just started using it, I can’t speak for its reliability. But I’ve used WD HDDs in all of my computers since the late 1990s and have never had a problem, which is the primary reason I chose WD as my first portable HDD. As others have noted, you will probably want a longer USB 3.0 cable than the one packaged with this drive. I bought a 3′ Pearson from B&H and it seems to be a very good cable. And I will probably be purchasing a case smoetime soon.

I own several My Passport Ultra hard drives. The are reliable and a great value for the price.

This drive works great with my new Macbook Pro. Very compact.
Haylee Kris (verified owner) –
Don’t have much to say – it works! Connected to Mac Book Pro to backup NAS. It runs quiet, a bit warm but nothing unusual. Read/write speed is about the same as for Ethernet-connected NAS. All in all, I can recommend this enclosure as a backup solution.

Very affordable and trusted.

My on-the-go back up hard drive. 4 TB. What else can I say?? CRAZY amounts of space on this for a kazillion raw photo files.
