Expand the storage on your Windows system and back up photos, video, music, and documents using the blue 5TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type-C External Hard Drive from WD. This drive is equipped with 5TB 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.

it really is small for 5 tb. however, it is not a full 5tb, (its closer to 4.5) also, transferring from another external harddrive is slow. also, its not too fast to transfer 4gb directly from the hard drive in the computer.it could take a whole day to transfer that much info….

This 5TB drive was purchased to replace a WD 2TB portal USB drive, which built-in encryption. The included USB Type-C to regular USB adapter is perfect, as it allows me to connect to my laptop using USB Type-C and my desktop using the converter/adapter. I use it both for storing files and for performing a full image backup of my desktop PC and Laptop. Great product!

Compact, works faithfully and quiet. I average maybe 85Mbps using the drives with my Asus All-In-One desktop computer. I have 4 of these drives plugged into a corded HUB. But my speeds are the same, whether plugged into the HUB or directly into the computer. I stream movies from the drives with no problems and transfer files on and off the drive continuously with no problems. I have put each of my 4 drives in the Western Digital Nomad hard case and they do not overheat and stay new looking. I recommend buying these drives. Now I’m wanting to buy one of the metallic ones!

I can highly recommend the WD Passport series of external hard drives. They have proven to be reliable and trouble free. They are also an excellent value.

Arrived quickly and well packaged like every order from B&H. I reformatted for my MacBook with a single partition and then used Carbon Copy to move 1TB from a failing Seagate 2TB external 3.5 HD. I have not measured performance but I can say that all my photos are on this drive and accessed from Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Performance is acceptable for me. The portability is perfect. Its much easier to carry than an external desktop case. I backup several times a week using CC to a 4TB external USB 3 Hitachi TOURO. I have SAFETYNET on so that any error such as accidental delete of a file can be recovered. Its a good setup for just over a couple hundred dollars.

Seems like a solid, durable portable drive. The red is a great way to not lose it in the sea of black electronics I have

I plugged this to my Laptop and worked right away, no drives needed to install. Transfer rates are great. Was able to back up all my data, and still a lot of space left for future backups! Great buy!

Never worked attempted to reformat for Mac and the drive would not accept reformatting. It’s a piece of junk. I have a Mac formatted drive from the same manufacturer that worked without a problem. Btw. The return form on website is broken so you have speak with a person.
