Description
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.

Never had a problem with one of these.

The bottom line is how long they last. These units are replacing four Seagate 4TB portable drives that all failed after a year of very light use.
Brielle Ruecker (verified owner) –
I DJ and have used external hard drives for years. The problem is they aren’t designed to be carried around from place to place, so they go bad and I use lots of music and work. The passport seems to be exactly what I needed, and plan to buy another one within a month. Data transfer speeds are great, and have not had any issues losing data or music.

I was looking for an extra storage drive to place my photos and I found this baby, portable, light, and great for when I travel to do my photo shoots, I hope to purchase another in the near future.
Norval Lindgren (verified owner) –
I like this product because it is well designed. The hard drive is smooth and can not hear any noise.
Adrian Ortiz (verified owner) –
Love how affordable a portable 4TB has become. I use these to backup my videos on long shoots. Due to experience, I always get two so one can backup the other if one breaks.
Myra Goodwin (verified owner) –
Use for backing up photos. Works great, great price
Salvatore McGlynn (verified owner) –
Great quality hard drive, works just fine for me! I use it for photography and I am able to edit my photos and but have an issue with it being slow or not having enough storage
Ressie Lakin (verified owner) –
Came earlier than expected and ber easy to use without have to read any manual. I would not use the program Pre-installed on the drive though. This is my new favorite electronics site!!!
Ralph Gutmann (verified owner) –
Stores lots and you can travel with it
Coralie Bechtelar (verified owner) –
I was able to transfer 2.5 TB in hours as opposed to a day or so. The processor on this is great and it connects to my home sharing devices with ease. As always B&H provides the fastest, most reliable service around.
Neha Berge (verified owner) –
I like the slim design & more importantly the possibility of having the files safe by adding a password along with setting up regular back up . This is not my On the Go drive when I need top leave my desktop and travel light.
Jakayla Torphy (verified owner) –
The value for the hard drive is insane. It’s 5tb and the material of the hard drive is solid.

I bought this hard drive to work as my time machine for my iMac. The drive is fast, pretty, small, and works almost perfectly. The one issue I have is that it will randomly disconnect when it is plugged straight into my iMac. This interrupts my backup and makes me worry about the integrity of the drive. After reading several reviews, forums, and other complaints I realized that this is a problem with how much power the drive is sucking from the computer. Apparently, the drive uses too much power when it is backing up large amounts of data. Since it is USB powered and there is a limit to how much power USB can provide the drive will shut down and disconnect. I read that many people have called WD to get a Y cable to connect to 2 USB ports. However, I found out that using a powered USB hub makes the drive work perfectly and not disconnect. Before, I could barely get my iMac to backup without the drive disconnecting. Now it never disconnects. WD knows about this issue but they refused to admit it unless you call them and ask for a Y cable. For that I have to only give them 4 stars.

This is a back up for My Documents instead of using the cloud. The WD software is easy to use and easy to set up on multiple drives. Even my Seagate drives back up with WD and I like this better than Seagates back up software.
Felton Champlin (verified owner) –
I prefer this form factor to the newer version. The newer version is more boxy and less appealing.
Derrick Walker (verified owner) –
compact, light weight, no need for External power supply, data transfer rate adequate for back ups
Cecelia McGlynn (verified owner) –
I love these, they are lite, they hold a ton of pictures, you can take them with you when you’re out. I cant say enough good things about these drives. I have a couple of them and never any issues. I use one for my main library catalog in lightroom, and another for the backup.
Oliver Stoltenberg (verified owner) –
This is a great drive that was easy to get setup. The backup software that comes with the drive works nicely. The drive was a lot thicker than the lesser capacity models.

In a blink of an eye it was at my door. My new WD 3TB My Passport Ultra had sleek packaging and easy directions to set up. All I did was reformat it for my apple which was a snap. Although I have not yet used it my children have been and say its the best, in my house we call it Blue. Thanks guys!
