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.

The whole process is clean, clear and straightforward and the best part in always works. Package even arrived earlier then scheduled. Keep up the good work!

While this drive is not the fastest kid on the block, it works very well with a laptop on the go. In spite of USB 3.0, the 5400 rpm drive limits your write speed. Powering the drive directly from the USB port is huge – not having to carry around another power brick or a wall wart is great!

It comes at a nice price and is fast enough. We’ll see how long it lasts. The backup software is junk and can’t detect the drive as a cloud on my Asus router.

This is a compact external hard drive that works well for back up to my laptop. It is small and sleek and is working well so far. The owner manual is not helpful at all. I had to call the company to see how to view my backup and sort through all the many files. There are so many root folders and they are confusing to sort through to get to your backup files, but once you figure it out (and write it down) you can easily access your backup. So far, I would recommend. The price is right!

I got this hard drive for a system backup. I am checking to see how it works with Apple’s Time Machine. So far it is working very well. I will then get another one just like it to rotate Off-site to protect my data. This is in addition to a cloud storage.

With a canon 5D Mark lll camera I needed a large hard drive to trace with and this was the perfect size.

I use a mid 2020 MacBook Pro 16″ top specs for video editing. DaVinci Resolve and BMPCC4K. I’ve been editing from this WD external HD and my 4K run really smoothly for my surprise. I exported a multi cam 42 min long video with graphics, color graded, adjustment layers in around 12 minutes. No issues ejecting the drive so I’m very happy with it!

great!

Have four of these all different sizes. All work great!

As far as a backup device, it’s fine. Hardware is easy to install but the software interface leaves much to be desired. The manual is laughable. I think Obamacare works better. You have to make many guesses about what to do. But once up and running it takes care of itself.I’m using it to back up my ENTIRE C: drive but there are a handful of files it cannot back up because they are constantly in use. If you are looking for a bootable mirror image of your C: drive then use a RAID.Initially it took overnight to back up the C: drive.

I liked the price for the storage and so far so good

Fast device allowing to to transfer huge amount of data quickly. One bad thing is the fact that the Power/Activity LED is in the middle of the back where you cannot see it thus it is not easy to see if the disk is working.
Alberta Mayer (verified owner) –
I get one of these for every project that needs a backup. They are fairly low in cost, fast enough to make some minor video editing changes, and small enough to carry around easily with my laptop.
Eldora Daugherty (verified owner) –
Works exactly how I needed it to, very happy with price and the product itself!
Lorenzo Kilback (verified owner) –
I use these drives for video projects. They are fast with no delays while rendering projects or playback.

the size is great. just like a passport. Although a little heavier than I thought. But still great.

3tb in a compact package without a plug in power supply. Unit is silent, stay’s cool, and works well. I’m using it attached to a USB 2 connection and it probably runs as fast as can be expected. I’m surt that it would be much faster connected through a USB 3 connection. I’m using it to back up photo files, so speed isn’t really a consideration for me. So far no problems.
