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.

WD external drives are my favorite and this one is no exception. I purchased it because I have some problems with a Seagate drive in my toaster and wanted to make sure that I had at least 2 backups for my photos.

First one ordered was defective, and B&H immediately replaced it–customer service was stellar! Fast service and free shipping. Replacement drive drive is working without issue as a backup drive. Excellent experience!

I am and IT person and vidcaster(video podcaster) among other things. I have two of these for temporary backup and editing on the go. I can consolodate an Avid project to the Passport and edit in a coffee shop or in my car. I have the Case Logic case for the one I take offsite to edit.They work well with Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.I have clients rotating them offsite for backup. I recommend tape but the Passports work well if you rotate them, that is have two or three and it least one is offsite at all times.I am a big fan of these drives. My only complaint may be the short cable.

Since my 2TB Seagate crashed on a trip … with lots of photos … I decided to buy 2 of the 1TB size … and make my photos are always backed up. So far … the WD external HD’s are working and saving photo files … but ALL hard drives can fail … make sure you have a back up!

Transfers data fast (as long as you have a USB 3.0 port) and it is very compact. No power supply – just plug it in and you are set. Looks like a very good product. So far I am impressed.

This unit sits next to my iMac Studio M1 along with 3 other independent hard drives. Plug and play with a Mac. It’s quiet and reasonably quick. Used to back up photos. Although I leave it on the desktop it would be easy to transport – other than being heavier than SSD drives. Interfaces smoothly with automated back up programs – Carbon Copy Cloner and Back Blaze. Great value for 4 TB of storage.

I’ve never had one of their drives go bad, but the software user manual reads like a text for geeks. I’ve always had a futile time understanding it. I usually just blunder ahead and hope I’m doing it right.

Light weight. On the go ready. Runs from USB pwr. Fast write/read. Sturdy. Runs cool. No start up and stop spindle/disc lag, Dead quiet. Don’t lost the USB cable as the unit end is not common connection
