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.

So far, so great (I’ve had it less than a year). I use it to automatically back-up everything on my desktop pc. It does just that, unobtrusively (it’s very compact and silent). Only the blinking light assures me it’s doing anything. It looks and feels rugged. I’m impressed that Western is confident enough in its product to include a three-year warranty (limited of course); not that I would ever test a hard-drive to its limits. At this price point, I will replace it within the next year. It’s USB-powered, another plus (I have more ports than ac plugs). I’m totally satisfied.

I use it to backup short film footage. It’s small and was cheap. I think it was good value, but only time will tell. The chord connection does not seem to be to sturdy.

Plug and play… worked correctly out-of-the-box. 2Tb storage allows for multiple full system images as well as large data backups.

Other than it getting a bit warm when it runs for a long time, I have no other issues.

With all of my documents on the go and all of that are in a portable HD in hand, WD 4TB is my champ.

I use this product to store all of my raw footage and design files. The speed is excellent and I edit 4K video directly from this drive.

Bought a few of these for off-site back-up. The USB-3 transfer is quick and they have been reliable performers.

The drive is quiet, looks good on the table. So far so good I have had the drive running for about 5 hours so far with no problems. I feel the drive is worth the cost. Loaded up and started running on the Mac as soon as I powered up.

It appears to work as expected. However, it continually hums as though it is constantly searching and will not shut down or eject. I contacted WD and they suggested that there may be a conflict with my antivirus. Well, I have had many external Hard Drives and have never had a conflict with my antivirus in the past. So, what does that tell me?Not very happy with WD right now.

4 times smaller than my old 1TB HD and much faster. I noticed that my old one start dying on me. So was very urgent to replace it. Got fast, free shipping. Setup was easy, and works on both Mac And PC.

I bought two of this for Mac and PC backup. It works perfectly, and the speed with USB 3.0 is amazing. I buy WD Hard Drive when I need an upgrade or an external disk, and ever it has excellent performance.

I use this for my laptop and no complaints…very reliable. It’s very quiet and stays cool. The USB cable could be longer but I’ll pick up a longer extension.

WD has never let me down. At this time, although I made quite a lot of research on this, I ended up (again) on WD. This is fast, reliable, and quiet. With this size, I could carry my daily commute.
