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.

What can I say but, the compact size for traveling is one of the reasons for buying the WD Passport Ultra plus it’s USB power source, no wall wart to plug in. I use it to port my music for DJing and video editing. It’s 3TB is more than enough space for my usage. I highly recommend this unit.

This hard drive allows me to backup my important files, such as photos and music. I had a computer crash, without these saved items, I would have lost a lot of personal family photos and history.

This was purchased to hold the massive library of 4K videos and 20 to 50 Mp photos I will be taking with two new cameras I have preordered but have not yet received, as of the writing of this review. But in the meantime it makes me feel like a Bond villain. So I got THAT goin’ for me, which is nice.

This is my second passport,l use it for my photography. It is very easy to use,and fast. I do a lot of wildlife photography and you only get one chance to get the shot. If my computer should crash,I still have my shots saved on the passport. You can not go wrong with this passport.

Has a nice build quality. We will see how long it lasts. My seagate barely made 2 years. All my western digitalis are still working.

Appears to do the back ups I need.

I bought two Passports USB 3TB maybe a year ago or so (both Ultra) I got the SAME drive a couple of weeks ago and it benchmarked better than the older ones. It performed overall a solid 20% faster. I have no idea about the latter. All drives have the most recent firmware updates.

when i bought this it did not say clearly enough that it was only for windows. i had to phone the 1 800 number for WD to figure out how to format if for Mac. next time read carefully which system it is preformatted for.

I used and will continue to use for storing my digital images. I like the size of the Passport,both the physical size and the 3TB. I have many images that I like to save and this little passport just fits the bill!!

I prefer WD Hard Drives as they are reliable and cost effective. This little USB drive is no exception, however I am not that impressed with the speed given that this drive is based on USB 3.0. It must be a 5400 RPM drive since the transfer rates are dismal when copying large amounts of data and that is why I only gave it a Three Star rating. I use it as a long term archive so no big deal but let the buyer beware.

I’ve been using WD drives for a long time now, and I recently purchased this one for my girlfriend as a second one to backup the first one. Gets the job done!
