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.

This hard drive works great. It is very fast and stable. I would recommend this hard drive to anyone looking for a hard drive.

Just replaced the same 2TB used for 3 years (still running) with this 3TB model. All good and decent speed with USB3

I am very happy with my new My Passport 1 TB HD. My laptop was able to recognize and use this HD without any problems (as opposed of other USB 3.0 HDs or thumb drives that I’ve used). This HD is light and compact (again compared to another portable I have). Lots of storage space for family pictures and music.

I use this drive for archiving video projects. I have two drives that are twins, just in case one fails. The USB 3.0 interface is speedy, but of course not as fast as an internal SATA drive. That being said, this takes up much less room and serves its purpose. I’m super pleased. No complaints whatsoever.

I particularly like the USB-C connector. Previous old USB drives of mine have been so delicate, wiggle them and they blink and get dismounted. This is much better. And, it comes with an adapter to old USB. Cons: BUT, know how USB-C is nice in you can plug it in either way? Well, this stupid adapter only plugs one way. A cheat to save a few cents. And might violate some licensing agreement to de-feature USB-C that way. Bad move. I reformatted to use on Linux as a software encrypted backup.

This drive can hold a ton of information and can write fairly quickly (spins at 5400 rpm). Some occasional trouble came up mounting more than one at a time and one of our six drives died after a few days of use. The problem with that is that we can’t open it up and pull the info off with a toaster because inside the drive is essentially one piece.

I bought this to back up my 400GB of photos that had almost totally filled up my main drive. It’s cheap insurance if you ever have a hard drive failure. Everyone needs a backup of the hard drive either externally or in a cloud somewhere. I prefer externally under my own supervision and control

This works fine with my Mac. This particular one I’m using to back up financial records. I have another this size for photos & videos and a larger one I use for Time Machine backups. They do fail over time and so I’ve learned that buyer the cheaper ones with less storage makes sense since they’ll likely have to be replaced and I’ve usually not filled them by then. Keep multiple backups!

Great product! Working fast, really small and fit in my photography bag! Recommended!

We have a handful off external drives. This is the easiest one I have setup on my Mac mini. It is a great value for the size and price. it works fine and shipping was free and fast.

Easy to install. Using it with time machine.

The drive actually has more than 4TB of space (4,000,750,497,792 bytes when you right click Properties). Of course, Windows calls this 3.63 TB (calculated as 3.63 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024). The drive works approximately the same speed as my other USB 3.0 devices, which is the 50-100 MBs/sec range when copying from my fast camera SD card to the 4 TB drive. I’ve already copied about 1 and 1/3 TB of data to it without problems. It’s exactly what I expected based on the ad.
