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.

Works fine, no fuss, no muss. I use it on a Win XP, USB 2.0, system and a Win7, USB 3.0, system. I use Windows utilities, have not tried any of the WD utilities.

I bought two more of these passports during their last sale. The HD itself works quite well with about 100+MB/s average read/write speeds. I now own 3 2tb passports one of which is already 2 years old and still performing the same as when I purchased it. With this purchase I received one dead passport that would not show up in device manager. This is bound to happen eventually when purchasing any electronics, so I see no reason to fault anyone for that. I contacted B&H and initiated the RMA process. They paid for return shipping and sent a new one out as soon as they received the old one. The package arrived at my home only 1 day after they received my dead drive. The RMA process was fast,painless, and quite simply a breeze compared to many other major online retailers, with very few questions asked. I wrote this review because I am sure there are others like me who hesitate every time they make an online purchase because returns are notoriously painful with many online retailers and often like to pin the blame for a product not working on the consumer. However, I am happy to report B&H has a painless process and I will sleep easy knowing so when I order from them in the future.

Very large capacity, reasonably fast and quiet. Usb cord is a little short, and drive is thicker and heavier than smaller capacity drives.

The drive is silent and easily formated for my Xbox 360 Elite. The usb cable has one special WD end and is quite short. You have to use an extension cable, since a standard one won’t work, if you want it further than a foot from where it’s plugged in. The cable has to be plugged into the two right-hand usb ports on the Xbox because it’s too fat for the ones on the left side. The blue light blinks constantly, whether the drive is working or on standby – really stupid and irritating. Because of the proprietary cable and blinking light I give it four stars. It shipped fast and was well packaged.

Though I’ve one WD external hard drive that has gone bad ( it’s 8 years old). I’ve never had an issue with WD. They’ve been very stable. I’m not expecting an issue with this one. The sale price is great ..!!!
