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.

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 Ultra is going to be exactly what I was looking for. I bought 2 of these as gifts for my children, and with the included software and flexible options, they are so easy to use. The first device was completely backed up in just under 30 minutes using default settings.
Sandra Spencer (verified owner) –
Convenient when traveling and love the idea with the USB connection, no more AC adapter and looking for an outlet.
Elva Yundt (verified owner) –
Works well, fast, good for lots of external storage, backup, etc.
Dulce Prosacco (verified owner) –
Find this product very easy to use once you get the hang of it. Would have liked some kind of a user manual to be included with product.

I needed an external hard drive for all of my photos and came across multiple brands etc. I decided on this hard drive and could not be more happier. The software is very easy to use (which I have heard can be non-user friendly). I have had great experience with this external hard drive compared to my previous ones such as the Toshiba products (mainly due to the software). Great price for such a great product. I will be purchasing one for my parents very soon, and I highly recommend this external hard drive.

I use as a portable backup drive for my traveling laptop. Fairly fast for a spinning drive and enclosure feels like it’s going to last.

Solid unit works fine. Wish it was a bit smaller in size to make it more portable and less heavy. Otherwise, it is very good.
Irma Romaguera (verified owner) –
Transfer speeds (what else is this for?) are quite good. USB 3.0 transfer speeds are far better than its predecessor. Transferred 400GB in a few (less than 4) hours.The backup software is the usual free software, upgrade-able to Pro for a fee. Backup software, while mostly successful, is nothing to write home about. Diagnostic is even more simplistic – nothing too complicated. OK status to tell you the test passed. That’s it. My older WD drive has lasted me 5+ years with no problems. Hoping this does as well. I’ll just delete the ‘free’ software utilities.

I use the drive to back up photographs on my desktop computer and also to act as the primary repository for photographs on my laptop. It replaces a smaller WD disk that I have outgrown. I appreciate the size, speed, and durability of the Passport, particularly when traveling with the laptop.

I love WD

I use these hard drives to edit video on FCPX. They are fast enough for editing and reliable for storing client footage and files. They are convenient as I often shuttle them between home and work computers to work on projects.

I buy two of these at a time, so I have a backup, always. I store and edit HD video and they’re fast enough and durable enough to keep up. I own over 20 WD drives like this and none have failed yet…although, every drive eventually does, so keep everything backed up! I had a Lacie partitioned drive fail on one half of the partition…didn’t have a backup…never again, will I not have redundant drives.

Installation to Xbox one for added storage was very simple. So far no issues.

It works.
Joan Jacobs (verified owner) –
Small, lightweight and lots of storage. Data storage has come a long way. I still remember paying 1 dollar per megabytes for a hard drive…lol. Buy one!!!

very good and handy

I purchased this 3TG Passport drive because my existing 750 MB backup drive (also a Passport) had run out of space due to a large amount of RAW photo files. The drive capacity is large enough to handle full backups of my main 256 GB SSD boot/program drive plus my 2 TB data drive. I cleaned up my old Passport and now use it for daily incremental file backups while the new drive is used for intermittent full drive backups. The drive is connected to a powered USB3 hub so the fast transfer speed makes it useful for full system backups. One caveat when installing in a Windows 10 system: The OS did not recognize the drive when first initialized – not the drive’s fault. I had to assign a drive letter through the Disk Management screen (Right-Click on the main Windows icon). So far, everything is working well.

I ordered on 28-Nov and BH delivered immediately. They are excellent in handling the orders and the HD arrived in perfect shape. It is working well there are no issues with it till now.

This product is used primarily for backing up my computer. The software provide with the unit makes this easy and complete. Plus there are additional applications provided that I found quite useful. I discarded my previous back-up software in lieu of the one provided with this device. The unit is compact and sleek.
