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.

The old passports worked so well, this drive (after painstakingly being reformatted to work with a MAC) disconnects so easily to the point where you have to restart your computer. You also can eject the drive without a “force eject” that compromises the data. I regret purchasing this and would purchase the old style of passports, unfortunately B&H doesnt carry them anymore. Buyer beware.

I use these drives when shooting larger events and need to dump files to my laptop on site and bring back home to work on my larger/faster iMac. Small in size, large in capacity and that fact that it gets it’s power from the computer without the need for a separate power cord makes them a perfect storage tool for someone on the go. Pick one up and you won’t regret it.

My application is extremely simplistic. As an artist my wife takes thousands of photo’s and needs a safe place to store them in an orderly way. We’ve been using WD My Passports for years and needed to upgrade from a 250MB unit. This 1TB unit should be a great photo repository for several years to come. We use USB 2.0 but expect to upgrade at some point to USB 3.0

I use the drive to backup my pc. It is very cheap portable storage that be moved to off-site location. The drive has very fast transfer rate and comes with a backup scheduling software. You can place files on the my-passport and delete them from your PC. The backup software will not delete during the next scheduled backup.

There really isn’t a whole lot to say about this product. It connects to my computer just fine and holds the files that I stored on it. That’s about all I can ask from it and it preformed the tasks well.

This was my first hard drive in this smaller size and I like it a lot. It has worked well for a few weeks now, I added about 1TB of data to it to send to a friend and it gave no problems, didn’t get too warm, and was very quiet. Price was excellent too!
