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.

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.

Hard Drive works great.
Wilbert Runte (verified owner) –
It’s good as long as I don’t leave it plugged in too long. I use a PowerBook and I have to force eject it if left in for several hours.
Jaylan Terry (verified owner) –
Works as advertised and got a great deal from B&H.
Charity Von (verified owner) –
Great and reliable product will definitely recomment it to friends and family
Aliyah Stanton (verified owner) –
The external hard drive is compact and has lots of storage space. I’ve backed up nearly two years worth of photos into the unit and freed up space on my computer hard drive.
Stanton Legros (verified owner) –
I use Passport drives as my main archive drive for all of my video projects. Always reliable.
Margarette Cronin (verified owner) –
Light weight. Works well. Quiet. Reliable.

It is compact in size using 2.5 hard drive and OK for data transfer in terms of speed with its UPB 3.0 port. The data speeds though are purposely exaggerate and misleading as they refer to the theoretical data movement speed through the USB 3.0 bus and not the actual write speed of the hard drive. Actual write speed for sequential writes as when using it for backups is 101 MB/s or a fourth of what is claimed even with USB 2.0. Forget about 5GB/s which is stated by Western Digital. There is no RAID as with the LaCie double drive units so this should not be used as anything other than temporary additional storage for data.

I got it about a month ago and I am very happy with it. Small, but big on data size, fast and well made.

B&H provided good deal this and delivered with in short time… Received quality product…

I teach a digital photography class, usually 16 students or so. Part of their course fee purchases an external hard drive for archiving photos and as a base location for image storage for Adobe Lightroom. I’ve used the Passport brand hard drives and they have always been reliable and durable.
Erich Wiza (verified owner) –
I went to work today and plugged in my HDD only to find out that the drive had failed overnight. It worked fine yesterday and now all of my data is inaccessible and the changes made since my last backup are lost. Having never had an issue like this happen so quickly with a HDD I will most likely never go this route again.
Rolando Walsh (verified owner) –
I own 2 of these drives and am using this one for video storage. As anyone working with video knows – you need space, and this device provides. USB 3.0 support is great. WD knows HDDs and their portable drives are more than capable.
Guillermo Bins (verified owner) –
I use my external hard drives to back up files, particularly photos.. I already own several of these Western Digital drives and am very satisfied with their performance. Since I use both pcs and macs, I reformat my drives using exFAT. I always purchase my electronics from B&H because they deliver the items quickly and are also responsive to my questions.
Floyd Towne (verified owner) –
Received exactly what I ordered in perfect condition. You’ll have to reformat the drive if using a mac but it was a cinch (boot your mac in safe mode) and use the disk utility.
Jennyfer Schaefer (verified owner) –
So far so good – it was easy to reformat to be used for both MAC and Windows (I have both) using it as a second backup for everything that is stored offsite. Easy to carry around and use
