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.

Good size Portable HD that comes with different colours. Good capacity for backups etc. Only con is that contact with USB connection was not so good with my specific product and quiet often It shows as it is disconnected from the laptop, and had to reconnect.

So far it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. I am the little concerned about how tight the fit is between the cable and the hard drive have decided to leave he connected all the time.

Mainly use for backing up data from differnt PC’s at work and home. Have it for a week now and seems to be working well.Had to download the latest firm ware and other software from WD website.

This drive is small but works great! The files transfer over quick and the 2tb space is worth the money!

Straight out of the box plugs in MacBook Pro and flies. Small, light and super simple to use.

Plug & drop, no stress. WD should make this feature more clear, as the presence of unneeded software creates unnecessary effort. A small matter, easily remedied.

Compact, compatible, speedy & reliable.

Ultra-sleek design. Arrived ultra-fast with standard shipping. The hard drive is great. You can’t beat the price for that amount of storage.

It’s a no frills external hard drive. I was happy to find that it comes with a USB 3.0 cable (albeit a very short one) to facilitate fast transfers. It looks good, has a sleek form, is small enough to pocket, and runs near silent.My only complaint is the software that comes with it is limited and has a terrible, dated interface, and runs constantly in the background even if you don’t have backup enabled. It does, however, offer a handy feature where you can select a group of files to back up and it will continuously monitor them for changes and maintain a current backup in real time.Over all, 1TB with a small form factor for $ seems like a pretty good deal to me.

I have used this portable hard drive to share long segments of video with a colleague who is working on a film with me long distance. Easy to use and video quality is good.

I was looking for a small, lightweight, fast USB 3.0 external hard disk for my laptop. The drive/cable weights 6.1oz (176g). Looking at various USB drive comparisons it ranks rather high for USB 3.0 transfer speeds (it is fast on my laptop) and mid-pack for USB 2.0 speeds (on my desktop). It works nicely for backing up my photos/videos and transferring data between systems. It has hardware encryption of the data which saves me from using virtual drive software. A good buy 😉

I purchased this to save tens of thousands of yearbook photos from previous years. It was very simple to use. It took several hours to save the photos, but that is only because there were so many.

I bought this external hard drive and am very pleased with it. It’s easy to use and is very affordable
Gladyce Heller (verified owner) –
With an external hard drive, it is very good to have nothing to report. I have partitioned this drive and I use it as a backup. So far this drive has worked fine, presenting no problems and it looks good.

Arthur Schamberger (verified owner) –
Only a 4 because I haven’t used it extensively yet, but wow, very impressed with the size and convenience, and obviously that it has SO much space! Purchased to back up all my photographs, holds my extensive collection with space to spare.

Very fast data transfer.

I am a photographer, I used to take nearly 300 pictures a week and each image would be around 30mb of size (since i use RAW mode to capture the photo). I need this hard drive to take a backup of my photo’s. The hard drive is too fast to copy the photos and very reliable.

So far works great with Mac OSX. I just reformatted it.

I bought this 5TB Passport Ultra to provide backups for my new MacBook Pro and for transferring some of my necessary information from my previous MacBook Pro to my new one. It’s very easy to use and did exactly what I needed it for.
