Since WD designed this My Passport Ultra drive for Mac, it comes preformatted HFS+ for macOS Mojave, High Sierra, and Sierra.

I needed an external hard drive to back up my files. This is a great small drive. B&H always has great prices and checkout was smooth. When i need something else, i will be back to B&H.

I’ve had WD Passports for years. The last one I bought was in 2016 and it feels like good quality, good weight, it’s silent, and after 4 years of daily use it’s still going strong. However, this one sounds like a jet engine starting up. Seriously, it’s a white noise machine. The description also mentions aluminum but don’t get your hopes up, it feels like a cheap piece of hollow plastic. Sure, it’s fast, and undoubtedly the drive quality is the same as it’s always been….but come on WD, try harder.

Seems like a good drive. I only use it for backing up my Music stuff so it will not be on all the time. My only disappointment was the packing job. They through it in a box with two small pillow bubble packing things that were flat (no air in them) on the top only and it was sailing around the box hitting the sides. Hard drives are very sensitive so I hope it lasts. It got banged up during shipping, that’s for sure. This is the only time I got a package from B&H that was packed poorly. Most of the time they do a very good job packing. The person must of been in a hurry?

Very nice looking drive that works great.

Use this for my Xbox One. It just works great. Now I have 3TB of storage overall. The color even matches my Forza 6 blue bundle. USB powered…awesome. Sits behind the xbox. Can’t even see it. Hooking it up was crazy easy.

Very fast USB 3. It is my all buckup devide.

It works, and has some pre-loaded programs on it to assist with backups. The backup software needs to be a bit more intuitive IMO. Still running after one month. I do wish the drive light would just stop when in sleep mode, instead I just taped over the way too bright indicator so it would not illuminate the office after hours with a flashing glow.

I have a bunch of these drives by now, and keep buying more… I use them to store video and photo files while in the field, and then finally as an archive for a completed project. Never had a problem, they work hard and have a long life.

I use these 1TB drives for storing each year of my photographs in triplicate. They have been reliable with no failures to date. The lack of need for a separate power chord is a big plus.

Very easy to setup and start doing backups.

Use HD to backup movies, personal files, and transport large work files. it is like a thumb drive on steroids. USB 3.0 is significantly faster than older USB 2.0 and WD includes the USB 3.0 cable which also works as the power cable. It is the size of a wallet, very portable. These portable HD’s take a pounding and the 3 year warranty is a plus. No complaints.

WD hard drives are the only drives that have never crashed on me, they start up quickly, and are always a value. A simple and rugged choice for backing up your work or using it to store files you will be working on.

Use this for video projects and storage. Not sure what kind of drive is inside, but it’s fast enough for editing. I really like that it is powered via USB 3 with one cable and there is now AC plugin cord.

We buy these drives often for their ease of use, portability and reliability.

My marketing system uses 34 computers. To keep our systems working properly we store and save essential files. These detached hard drive are a life saver. I’ve got four of them now, and they make my life easier. They have saved my butt many times. They make it easy to move files, from one machine to another.————-

Super fast, excellent. I am thinking of buying another more

I burn through a lot of HD’s in my business and I’ve found that the WD brand hard drives are the most reliable. I haven’t experienced any trouble with these and I’m currently on my 8th one in 3 years (knocks on wood).
