Description
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.

Looked at several compatible hard drives to connect to my Linksys router for camera video storage. It was so simple, plugged it in, worked instantly. Good value for the dollar. It will take time to test the reliability, but so far, all good.

I finally solved a problem that had been haunting me for the last year. When I switched to a MacBook Air with 500GB of SSD storage from my trusty 17 MacBoo Pro with a 1TB SSD, I had a problem. My 425GB iPhoto Library was too big to have with me on the MB Air. I know it is freakish, but I love having ALL my photos available to me (especially when using iPhoto Faces). I would frequently carry the MacBoo Pro with me and leave it in the car, just in case I needed access to some Faces. Thanks to the 2TB My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive I now keep in my laptop bag, I can access my full iPhoto Library I copied from the Pro to the Passport drive. No more running out to the car or carrying my much larger workhorse MacBook Pro. The USB3 transfer from the Pro went smoothly and quickly. Reformatting the drive, prior to loading the iPhoto Library onto the Passport, to the MAC OS Extended (journalized) format was simple and effective. The Passport works wonderfully with my MacBook Air. I also use it for Time Machine backups–wonderful having 2TB! Additionally, I love the RED color! This is a fast, compact, and reliable drive (not SSD fast, but 2TB is worth the tradeoff). I love it!

Just what I needed; simple to use, lightweight.

Very convenient, large capacity, very fast. Over the past 4 years I have owned 6 My Passport devices. I have experienced 2 failures: one in which accessing the disk became unreliable and one in which the USB connection failed. B&H replaced the second which was only 3 months old. Don’t let this device be your only backup of critical files.

Classic WD build quality, beautiful finish, fast, USB 3.0, 2TB in a form factor the size of a pack of cigarettes. Who could ask for more?

How you use the product: Transport files between work and home Things that are great about it: Small and lightweight. Things that aren’t so great about it: Nothing so far. Worth the small premium for the 3 year warranty.

Elegant casing and nice price too

Works good – hard to tell how long it will run, but easy initial set up for PC and easy to wipe and reformat to work w/ a Mac using disk utility.

It is compact, portable and works well. This is the second one I have owned with no problems. I have had significant issues with lack of support for a WD MyBook Live Duo networkwork drive but not with the My Passport Drives.

Realy best

I bought this drive to archive my AirPort Time Capsule. After reformatting to Mac OS Extended with journaling, it worked perfect. The white color also matches the AirPort Time Capsule router.

Great drive

I’d already purchased one of these for myself, and it’s been in use for a number of months for backups. One of the backups was crucial as I’d had a meltdown of my internal hard disk, and this saved the day. So, I bought another one for my wife. It had to be red, of course! The USB 3.0 is a speedy transfer, too. B&H always comes through, too, with low price and quick delivery.

I got this drive to back up video I shoot when on trips. It works great for my needs and the extra space is essential when I’m away. It’s also great to use as a backup of my main drives. If you are on a mac you do have to format it before use.

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.

This drive is a major step up from a junky old 250 GB drive I have relied on for years. It is quick to transfer files and has thus far proved to be very reliable! A hard drive really proves itself over time, and one should really back up to multiple sources to ensure their data is safe, but this makes a great compliment to another hard drive or cloud data storage because of its great price. A++!
