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.

Price and reliability — great.

Pretty easy to get hooked up, although there are no instructions included and i had to go online to figure out what to do. Have not had to access the unit yet, so no idea how well it’s performing.

I bought 3 of these to get the quantity discount. Big mistake. This hard drive tries to auto install some SES software that is not found on Windows update. I went to the Western Digital website to find out how to get rid of this. One has to download another program from the Western Digital site to block the attempted auto installation of this useless SES driver. If one does not do this then every time one connect the hard drive to their computer it will try to auto install the SES driver. What a piece of junk! I do not need this hassle every time I use this device. Why do companies pollute their hard drives with garbage? I am returning them and buying a different brand.

Used as a backup device, didn’t install their software, just using Windows backup, works great.

I use this drive for backing up my important data and moving large files between computers. I like that the drive gets its power directly from the USB port and doesn’t need a power pack.

I edit off the hardrive and store all my videos. You have to change the settings on it so it will be accepted by MAc

WD is my go-to backup drive and the small size is great. They got an extra 1TB for a total of 5TB up from the 4TB units. Comes with one cable instead of two. There is USB-C to USB-A adapter that plugs on. The adapter requires a little more force to make sure it is fully seated, once that was done, I was backing up without an issue. Still fixes in the 4TB case. Great little drive for the price.

Have 3 of these exact models. They are great for portability. They stack easy enough using rubber circular feet. They sync amazingly quickly. It is about 6 hours for a copy of about 75% used space.

Have had this for a couple of years now. Seems to work fine. Plug and play. Have used with Vista and Windows7. Mostly use it for backing up data, and transferring files between computers. I have only used it a few times each year.

The 2TB My Passport Ultra Portable Hard Drive is exactly what I was looking for in a new portable drive. Compatible with USB 2 and 3, massive storage capacity, fast transfer rate, and a great color. Even comes with a nice little carry pouch to keep it covered. B&H had the lowest price on the Web AND Free Shipping!

Hello, Got this to backup a 2TB drive on my desktop. It is USB 3.0. I did a one time back up of 1.4TB. Was on a USB 3 port, ran at anywhere from 3 to 5 GB/ min. Use to be 25 gb, 25 min. Not with this, it flew. Nice size and feel to it. This is my second drive, my first one I carry with my laptop to have a complete set of home data. Never had one drop of trouble with either drive.
