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.

Comes with extra features and is a great portable hard drive. Works well for private backup that you can take with you. Small and easy to use. Also comes in other sizes with more capacity.

Bought to use as a Time Machine volume–so far working fine with no issues.

As a photographer, images take up a lot of space. I use this product to store images as a backup and a second set on Dropbox. Would not be without one.

I already had several WD hard drives, all working great. This one seems to be just as good. The only thing I was sort of expecting this time was a USB-C cable (3.1) instead of the standard USB, given that the new laptops will likely have USB C.

Bought 2 of these hard drives. One of them crashed the first day I tried to use it. The other one is still working but I won’t trust it with important files. Unfortunately, I am past the return period so I guess I am stuck with them.

As an owner of several WD MyPassport drives over about five years, I can say this 3TB drive does not fall short from the convenience, speed and reliability I have come to expect in previous models. I have traveled far and wide carrying MyPassport devices, and find them lightweight, compact, and fairly durable. Never had a hitch. This model is the exact same thickness as it’s 2TB predecessor, and seems to me slightly quieter. I find no major difference in external materials and construction, although I do think the top panel feels a bit more solid to the tap of the finger.

works ok but needs more power than standard hub can provide

First off, I’m no computer expert. But I am an avid photographer. I’ve been wanting and needing a back-up for all the images I have stored on my desktop. After reading several reviews that listed many pros and few if any cons, I went with this one. Just as claimed by WD, it is super simple to set-up and use with the included software.

It’s not the fastest drive, but it holds a lot of 1’s and 0’s. I use it for backup of big video files. It takes about twice as long to transfer to then a raided drive, but it’s also smaller and bus powered.
