Expand the storage on your Mac 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 Mac 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 Mac, it comes preformatted HFS+ for macOS Mojave, High Sierra, and Sierra. If you happen to work across both Windows and Mac platforms, WD provides a downloadable HFS+ driver for Windows 10, 8.1, and 7, which enables the reading and writing of this My Passport Ultra drive without any reformatting. Or, make it fully Windows compatible with a simple reformat. Thanks to a 256-bit AES hardware encryption chip, your private files are kept more secure.

This is a great drive for backups, its fast and small

I am a photographer with a rapidly growing collection of images that need to be well protected for future availibility. I have had a WD 1TB external drive for about 3 years, and it has been a silent, dependable workhorse at storing my photo data files, but beginning to fill up. Recently bought a much more robust computer to better handle Photoshop processing (i7 processor, 16Gb fast RAM, and a big fat 500 Gb SSD C-drive for extreme file management speed and processing), and I decided to boost my storage capacity. I purchased the pair of WD passport externals, 2 TB each, and set them up for double redundancy. Simple to install, plug ’em in, set up the folders you want backed up, and your done – 10 minutes tops. Very fast, plug into a pair of SS USB 3.0, great price for the pair, and best of all, peace of mind on a large collection of important image data. What’s not to like ??? B&H is the best in the business

I like this drive a lot…That said after buying two this month for my new MacBook Pro 2018, 13, the connection cable doesnt seem tight. If I so much as type and the Mac even barely moves, and I mean barely, the connection becomes loose and I get an error message…Its all new…I think the connection should be secure. I will call B & H after the holiday.

Hard to tell after only one week, but no complaints

I love this drive. It is fast, compact, and has 2TB of storage. The included backup software is automatic and very helpful. And the encryption gives peace of mind if the drive is ever lost or stolen. I highly recommend this drive.

I love WD backup drives and have 5 of them but the new backup software is garbage. The Smartware that WD once used was spot on and easy to use but not so for the new WD Backup software. It is not intuitive and is difficult to understand. To top it off the software is extremely slow and makes me think that the software is not responding properly. When I call for support I am directed to India and have a difficult time understanding the individual. Although the tech is very nice I can tell that he is just as frustrated as I because I don’t understand him. Sorry to say that the backup software makes me want to turn to another product line.

You have to really jam the connector pieces together or else your Mac won’t read it but once set up it works great!

Not worth it for Apple Computers

3TB of storage don’t get much better.
Madisyn Zboncak (verified owner) –
Software was annoying, it’s a little hard to figure out how to password protect the hard drive, and the hard drive should have come with some kind of case/pouch. But it works fine. And the design is attractive.

Great value. Does exactly what promised.

I have used several of these over the years. I did have one start giving me error messages occasionally, which is a bit scary. Always managed to get it going again though.

Western Digital is a great product. These work really well and are very simple to install. I have used WD for several years and I am very satisfied with the way they work.

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!
Darrel Heidenreich (verified owner) –
Rock solid, dependable drive. I had well over 1,000 DVD’S, stretching back in time to when my kids were toddlers. I ripped all those movies and put them on this drive which, incidentally, I was able to use, along with Plex, to watch them again. I’ve since copied those movies to an internal WD Red drive. So now I have a backup as well. Great device.
Rebekah Grant (verified owner) –
Easy set up and everything worked perfectly. I have a Mac so all I needed to do was reformat it and I was good to go. Transfer speeds were super fast. And it’s perfect for travel.

This is WD’s latest, beleived it would stay within my trust level.Utilties are great but not the free Cloud upload as their terms state that it may get terminated at anytime no notice, so I never get excited about their clever ad. Their drive utilities can save your day before this HDD develops any bad sectors. Be careful when you use the Security Utility to setup password protected HDD, you can’t get the data back if you forget the password. I have made this HDD as my external boot drive with few partitions and two of which are FAT32 (cross platform compatibility). Totally a must have if you would really need an angel to protect your back.

We have a whole library of these backups which help us to save and retrieve files for digital prints

I like this drive, as it is very small and holds 2 terabytes of material for a very affordable price. I have taken it on film shoots and it is very easy to pack. The drawback I have seen so far is that, because of its small size, it has only one port, a small USB3. More ports always mean more flexibility. So far I have had no problems and would recommend it.
