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.

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.

Works as expected. I just use it for storing old files. It is fast and compact. I have another WD HD from a few years ago that still works well, so I expect the same reliability as that one.

I Google searched and amazon shopped for a 1.5 TB hard drive and B&H had the best deal. The product is great. I’ve backed up two computers and a dropbox account into one centralized area. I’ll be using this device for backups and general storage for years. The order was quick, easy and I could login using my Google+ account, there was no mistake on my identity. Great Experience.

I erased/reformatted the drive when I got it, works fine with my Mac. The data transfer speed is good, and it is bus powered (less cables!). Good for in office backups, and it’s a perfect size to stuff into a safe deposit box for offsite storage. But for travel, I prefer the Ultra Metal Edition of this drive.

I have many WD external drives – portable and desktop. So far, I’ve had good performance from all of them.

I’ve been using WD My Passports for a long time. This one is up to their usual standard.

Great cable – necessary to plug my camera into sound boards.

It was difficult to install the WD 5TB My Passport Ultra USB 3.0 Type- C External Hard Drive for our Mac, and we had problems being able to log in to register it….We had to call Apple Care for them to install it….. Although installation and communication were difficult, it seems to be working well.

Very good!

It does the job. Plus the matte finished helps with finger prints. I’ll end up getting more of these soon.

Fast and quiet

I use this terrific portable Hard Drive to use with my MacBook Pro. I like how compact it is so that is highly portable very quiet and is built like a tank. Can’t think of anything that is not so great about it. Except, that you have to follow the procedure to set it up if you are using it with a Mac computer. Will have to pass on that one! I HIGHLY recommend this unit. GET ONE!

Lots of storage for photo folders and files

Always using WD Passports – Superb! And the price is great!

I’m not the smartest tech person, but am usually pretty good with this kind of thing. I can’t figure out how to save files to this drive using my Mac. I just want to store some photos. I’m sure I’ll figure it out, but the fact that I’ve spent more than 15 minutes on trying means its too complicated for the simple function I want to use it for.

Seems like a solid, durable portable drive. The red is a great way to not lose it in the sea of black electronics I have
Ricky Kunde (verified owner) –
very fast download
Eric Bernhard (verified owner) –
This was by far the least expensive per GB. Very easy to set up and use. The only reason for 4 stars (instead of 5) is that the software installs 3 separate programs instead of one: (1) security; (2) settings; (3) backup.
Carmine Bartell (verified owner) –
Well, I can understand why this has been discontinued, the most unreliable drive I have ever purchased by WD. Drive failed after less than 6 months. As this was my primary iMac Time Machine backup drive this could have been catastrophic. As it is I had to spend $200 and 2 days having the drive rebuilt so I could get my data. Now very concerned with the half-dozen smaller capacity WD drives I’ve recently purchased.

I would rate 6 or even 7 stars if I could!
