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.

Extra storage space is a must with the size of digital files. The 1 TB My Passport Ultra Portable External hard drive is a great product. The USB 3.0 speeds up the down loads and access by software. The portable size and build add a convenience when used with my laptop.

This HD performs as advertised. It’s small and light, and goes with me on all my travels so that I can download photos. I also carry a LaCie rugged external HD with me for backup redundancy. I can tell no difference between the performance of the two. This is a great value for a very good 2TB HD.

I bought this drive as a second backup for my MacBook Pro. My primary backup drive is a thunderbolt that I use each time I add significant data. I backup to the second drive about once a month and keep it in the safe deposit box at my bank. While I like the speed of the thunderbolt drive, I thought the USB 3.0 would be fast enough and maybe even as fast. I couldn’t find any test that actually compared the two drives. The difference in speed between this Passport USB 3.0 and other USB 2.0 drives that I have used is like night and day. That said, its still not as fast as the thunderbolt drive. But for the way I’m using the drive I’m more than satisfied with the speed. After having a little time with the two drives, I don’t think its worth the difference in money to use a thunderbolt drive for backup. However, if you need an external drive for a scratch disk or second boot drive, then the thunderbolt is worth considering. I’ve used WD drives in the past and have always been satisfied with them just as I am with this new Passport. In addition to the other qualities, the size of the drive is very nice as space in my safe deposit box is at a premium

I always carry two WD portable drives when traveling So far no problems. I always back-up digital files on, at least, two external drives. These drives are not armored so have to care not to drop or treat roughly. It would surely help if WD would print the size (capacity) of their portable drives on the device.

This hdd is perfect! The size of a pack of cigarettes, it’s easy to carry around with my laptop. At 1 TB, it’s great either for carrying around photos to process on to dump SDHC while on vacation. The speed on usb3 is crazy, I love it.

Drive #1 = ‘Working photo drive (photo enthusiast)’ Drive #2 = ‘Backup of everything but photos – desktop computer’ Drive #3 = ‘Backup of my wife’s laptop’ Drive #4 = ‘Backup of my laptop’ Drive #5 = ‘3 TB Western Digital Backup of photos’ Yea, I do like these WD drives.

Nice and small and USB powered.

I use hard drives like this for taking audio and video files on the road, and for sending clients large video files. Before doing anything else with the hard drive, I use Apple’s disk utility to partition it into two partitions, and prepare it for use with our Mac computers at the studio. The proprietary software that comes installed on the drive is a nuisance for me, and prevents me and my clients from using it transparently. I’m not worried in my professional life about somebody accessing this drive’s contents and stealing or corrupting them. I’m thinking more of ease-of-use for my studio staff and for my clients, and the Apple disk utility lets me set the drive up quickly and efficiently.

Bought as a gift, so my father can back up his files and family pictures. Small, portable device.
Keven Buckridge (verified owner) –
Bought this unit because I am finally getting all my photos backed up in one place. Multiple drives all stored nicely onto this one. Previous purchase was a 1 TB device. This not only has more capacity, it is faster. And it matches my laptop!

This drive works great with my new Macbook Pro. Very compact.

I bought this HD for the sole purpose of backing up all my files from my PC to Mac and vice versa. Prior to purchasing the HD I looked trough pictures and thought it would be a slim HD, but when I received it it was thicker than I expected. However I am pleased at the speed and easy set up of the product. I get to back up all my college works and documents from both platforms at ease.

WD is always my preferred drives. It never disappoints me. I bought this 2TB My Passport Ultra for daily backup. It works great & zero failure rate! I’ve been using it for 7 months now. This is not my first WD portable / external HD. My very first WD external drive was bought in 2010. I have four WD drives before getting this one. I’m still using all of them for both my Mac machines and Windows laptop. I also had Seagate, Buffalo and Maxtor but all died before (sigh).
