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 is a nice little hard drive, and is perfect for someone like me that likes to make regular backups of my computer. It’s USB powered so there’s no wall wart to deal with, and it is as quiet as can be. Good to have something that’s not overly complicated.

Awesome hard drive case. Like it even more than horizontal one.

No problems with drive. the drive is fast on USB 3. Has 2.72 TB Useable storage after WD installed software. I use it to store my photos and videos.

I use this drive to back up another portable external drive which serves as my primary hard drive. I needed software that allowed this kind of continuous backup. The WD Smartware upgrade (which is free with this purchase) makes this possible allowing me to always have an up-to-the-minute backup. Backup software from two other hardware companies does not support this feature. This is the hard drive to get!

Used as a back-up for my laptop. No problems so far. Lots of room.

IT’S FASTER

The 1.5TB tends to be around 1.37TB when you actually plug it in but its because it has all this extra and useful software Western Digital supplies like Drive Utilities, Security and SmartWare. Did I mention it connects with your Dropbox online? 3.0 USB transfer speed is next to none! It doesn’t have a power switch which isn’t THAT bad but it would be useful. All in all, just buy it already!

I use it as a backup of my PC’s HD.

I use this drive for backup. I have 3 of them and I like the size and speed. They’ve been proven to be very reliable.
Neva Quitzon (verified owner) –
Fast and accuracy!!!!
Bonnie Renner (verified owner) –
It works as you’d expect from a plug in storage: Plug into USB port (no additional power needed), ready to use! The only thing I did not expect was the thickness of the case. 3 years ago I bought a 1TB drive from WD and that case was about 4mm thinner then this one. I would have thought that both drives contain roughly the same amount of HDD’s and as such the case would have the same dimensions (or thinner). But hey – it’s 2TB and still fairly small!

Easy to use once you have it set for a mac.

NAS based TimeMachine Backups work great, but not ideal if you need to be portable. I have this hooked up to my dock, and it works great and a bit fast and small too while comparing it w/ older generation ones.
Paris Kozey (verified owner) –
Just what I needed
Alycia Christiansen (verified owner) –
Another quality WD product, Connected immediately and fast as expected, no problems. The device itself seems pretty solid, I purchased a solid case to ensure that it is protected from general hazards like water and dirt. Once plugged in, the HDD offers various applications to protect and backup information as promised by WD. I am very happy with this product and look forward to getting rid of my old WD my book, which is taking up more space than I care to use.

We move business information on them so it is nice to have the securit feature.

Not all external hard drives are compatible with the DVR+. Easy to set up, lots of storage capacity for movies and TV shows.

Plugging in the drive ran the software and started backing up. No sweat!
