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.

Small, fast, reliable, USB powered, large capacity mobile hard drive. Plenty of room for all your digital stuff. Doesn’t overheat, virtually silent and fast due to USB-3 connection. Like it a lot! 🙂

I’ve gotten so many hard drives over the years being a filmmaker. This is by far my favorite. It is fast and has a lot of room for video files. I can edit directly off this drive and it doesn’t seem to be slow at all. Very happy with this one.

These WD drives have been the most worry-free of all such external drives I’ve purchased over the years. I purchased this 1TB model to serve as an external cloned backup for a Macbook Pro laptop with a 500GB internal drive. At least once a day, I’ll run SuperDuper from Shirt Pocket software, to create a perfect, bootable, just-in-case clone of my laptop.

Purchased 2x 5TB. I have had several My Passport’s over the years, and never had one fail or any issues. I wanted the USB-C ports, as that’s the future and it makes it easy having such a common port. Sure they’re not the fastest drives (compared to SSD), but at this price and HUGE capacity they are ideal for storing photos/videos. I use one as a Plex server. Highly recommend

This drive is everything I expected and wanted it to be–large capacity, small size, fast USB3.0 data transfer, and quiet. Reliability cannot be judged until the drive has performed for many years.

This is third My Pssport Ultra portable HD purchased over the last 3 years. I use them to back up internal hard drives on both MacBook pro and PC computers. Reliable, quiet, speed as advertised, and easy to plug and play with integrated software to set up for automatic backup or other operations. I do not have experience with other brands or models from which to compare, but so far, I have had no need to consider any others! If you compare price to quality and reliability, this has been consistently the best value.

I was looking for a portable hard disk to replace an existing 3 year old seagate model. The price was the cheapest i could find for a 1.5TB portable disk and i was amazed to see the slim profile. Its very easy to carry during travel. Had no issues plugging in and using it on my windows 8 laptop. USB 3.0 offers noticeable speed improvements.

quiet , runs reasonably fast. I have used this for a week or so and it does as expected. I did not use the backup software. (i never trust any of them). But for the size and price it was a good deal

This 4tb unit is hard to find anywhere except B&H Photo. Silver edition looks great and matches my laptop’s finish.
