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.

For the price, it seemed like a good buy. However, it seems as though I received a malfunctioning hard drive. The little light on the side would blink when I plugged it into my computer, but my computer wouldn’t recognize it like it would with my La Cie’s. Will be returning.

My main purpose for this drive is backing up content to store it somewhere safe in case disaster strikes. For this the drive is ideal. The size is quite small (if I would have ever smoked I would possibly say the size of a cigarette box) and it offers 4T (well 3.6GB if you ask Windows) of storage space. When doing my backup I have seen a sustained write speed of 100MB/s which is for such a drive really nice. After copying 2T, the drive case got less warm then my notebook (according to my disc monitor it was reaching 41C – which is a tad warmer then my normal disc drive @38C). I of course not say anything about the long term durability yet, but I hope that by the time I know more about it you won’t be interested in it anymore. 😉

Excellent value for personal backup. Hardware encryption is one critical feature that make this product suitable for backing up important & private information.

I bought this for photo file back up as I do extensive landscape photography. Basically plug and play, the first file uploaded perfectly with no hassles. Also I like the compact size.

I use this hard drive to back up files and it works very efficiently. It’s easy to set up and it’s small size makes it easy to transport as well as not taking up much space on my table. It’s well built, not flimsy and transports easily. There is nothing about this product that I would consider a drawback and would highly recommend it.

So far so good, very sleek and well-designed build. No complaints

The drive works fine but I was misled by the title ultra portable and did not check the spec for its thickness. It is thicker than most of the external portable drives I have.

I own two of these. I prefer Seagate because they are slimmer but these work well enough. I use them for backups. They are reliable but not exceptionally fast. They run hot and loud.

Terrific portable HD. Will more than likely buy more.

Great price for this product

I am using it to back up my photo collection and website and reduce the storage on my startup SSD. I use a Mac and needed to reformat the drive to accommodate the operating system. This was simply done with the disk utility app. The usb cable is short but this is not an issue since I remove the drive from the desk after backing up and put it in a drawer.

Love these Passport USB 3.0 drives. I own several in the last 2 years, and none have given me any issues so far. Nice not to have use a separate power cord.

Easy setup. Used other brands before. Had problems. WD is the only one I use now.
Peggie Deckow (verified owner) –
Light weight & easy to use.

Use for my MacBook Air for backup and disk cloning with SuperDuper. I only reformatted (comes Windows formatted) to Mac and have fun.
Neha Christiansen (verified owner) –
I love this product. Transportable, Affordable, Big Storage space. The only real problem is it isn’t all that fast. But if you are a bit patient. That’s fine. I use it for business applications and film transfer. So far, so good.
