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.

Great secure storage at a good price. USB powered so you do not need to worry about AC power drops.

Small, compact, requires no AC power. Purchased this for my iTunes music and photos. It meets all of my expectations for a portable device. I may get another as it is more convenient than having to take laptop to desk where I keep my 3 other external hard drives.

Never worked attempted to reformat for Mac and the drive would not accept reformatting. It’s a piece of junk. I have a Mac formatted drive from the same manufacturer that worked without a problem. Btw. The return form on website is broken so you have speak with a person.

First explain the headline – Great Little – as in physical size – (but not – as in 1TB of storage). Small form makes it easy to carry, single cable for data & power makes it convenient to use. Using it to replace old, bulky & slow drive for our 150,000 music files we ripped from our collection of albums, tapes and CDs. Only thing not great was me only ordering the 1TB instead of the 2TB drive…

Delivered ready to use on a Windows or OSX computer: Connect the drive and you’re set to go. In my case, I reformatted it for use win OSX only. Cost? Economical. Sure you can indeed larger capacity drives, but I believe 1TB is large enough to hold pretty much all that is in my computer.

I mostly use this when I have a special project or am traveling and need a backup. Haven’t really used it a lot but I’ve had no bugs or problems. Seem to work fast and quite user-friendly.

I am doing a family history with a lot of graphics, photo and videos. I bought 3 of these drives – one for each of our daughter. The size – both physical and and capacity – is just what I need. Enjoy dealing with B&H as they are prompt and provide good value

Easy to use, plug and play on my Win7 machine, and no software required to use the basic functions. Right out of the box I have put over 1.1TB of backup data on it.The price per TB is good for this 1.5TB My Passport. I especially like the small size and the build quality. The shell is made of plastic, but the touch and feel both make me like this little portable drive (which holds big data!)I have an old WD My Passport (320GB) portable drive for 6 years, still running no problem. That gives me some confidence on buying this new one.

I have been using these drives since I switched to USB 3.0 All of them are still working however I will say that at times my MacBook Pro has trouble ejecting them and I have to force quit to eject the drives don’t know why it does that… Also I like the fact that you can password protect the passport drives.

I plugged MyPassport Ultra for Mac into my computer, but no icon appeared on my computer. The online user’s manual was of no help. So far, it is useless.

No kidding…I am a big fan of Western Digital drives and this one is no exception. It’s 1 TB, but actually a little smaller in physical size. The drive has been running wonderfully and fast. I do like it.
