This drive is equipped with 4TB of storage and a USB 3.0 Type-C interface.

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.

This is a good value portable external drive that has a lots of storage space. I’m happy with it’s performance, and I own now about 5 WD ex drives and 4 of those are these portables that are USB 3.0 and simple and easy to use. I have 2 that are specifically for a Mac (just means there’s software that comes with it for Mac security and utilities) and all of them have worked well. That’s why, I went with WD Passport again. I use this drive with a Macbook Air mainly and have it partitioned into 3 drives. One for photo library for Lightroom and another for videos & projects and the last, largest partition for all the stuff I always wanted to have with me all on one drive. My backup drives are not on this HD. I haven’t had any problems so far – but I don’t do heavy video work with this ‘light’ setup – obviously – but it works well. I’m not sure how this drive is actually divided inside the case – I’m guessing there are 2 x 2TB drives inside the enclosure. For that reason, I divided the drive into partitions in those multiples. I would like to see – if possible – for these small portable drives to have two USB 3.0 connections for pass-through connectivity so I could daisy-chain a few of drives. That would be ideal. I have to use a hub for that. My rating is 4 1/2 stars – for value, reliability and storage space and no required additional AC power. Build quality for case is plastic, not fast internal drives, just one connectivity, USB 3.0 so I take off a 1/2 star.

I have 4 of these and they all have remained very reliable and are easy to use. They are the best value for TB per dollar and their compact size makes them easy to store. I didn’t think I’d care that much for the colors that are offered, but it helps me differentiate between my different drives. Highly recommended!

The product is easy to use. I have been transferring several GB data into this portable drive and the transfer was done in a few mins.

I use this drive for quick offloading of footage and offline edits while traveling. This drive is stable, fast, and has never let me down.
Makayla Kunde (verified owner) –
All of the drives that I own are WD’s. I find them to be extremely reliable and quiet. This one is no different. It only requires one cable to function and very portable. I am going to purchase another very soon.

About four years ago I got a new laptop, custom assembled by the manufacturer. I choose the largest drive 750 GB and they even shrunk that by using it for back-up — Back up on the primary drive!! I like to take RAW photos and those ca 30 GB shots start to take space. So 2TB seemed like a dream and so far I have not been disappointed. I do plan to use it for back-up and to provide space for other things.

USB 3 performance is great. USB powered is convenient and better than ac power. Footprint is good space saver for desk and travel, little larger than deck of playing cards. As years go by tech basics hopefully gets better and less expensive. Some stuff become obsolete, some are still necessity. This 2TB was destination transfer and back-up of older smaller external drives. Consolidation: although I wouldn’t recommend putting everything CRITICALLY IMPORTANT onto one large electronic/ mechanical drive, but personal prudence should be in effect. Selected most important files and transferred those onto Solid State flash drive. SSD are currently the safest electronic medium but large capacity are very expensive at the moment.

Small disk yet has plenty of storage. It was very easy to reformat this disk for Mac
Johanna Keebler (verified owner) –
Easy to use…lots of storage…surprisingly light and,as the name implies, ultra portable.
Danika O’Reilly (verified owner) –
This lightweight drive has been just right for me to carry all my stock footage and project folders with me at all times.
Marlee Will (verified owner) –
great product easy to use
Malachi Mann (verified owner) –
This is a lot of storage in a very compact package. I don’t use the software that comes with it. It works fine by just plugging it in. I love that there is no power cord and brick with it.My only complaint is that it is advertised as 2 TB but only 1.8 TB is actually accessible. This is standard practice, but I would like to see some truth in advertising.

I need to back up a lot w/ all the high-res photo files I have, and WD Passports work well and are also convenient for traveling with. This is my 3rd Passport; the other 2 are still going strong.

the best

+ How I use the product: – I buy one of these for every year of work that I have to store both RAW files and their finished JPEGs. – I use the current one to keep my RAW files and .XMP files as I’m editing current projects. + What’s great about this product: – Very portable, slim, and easy to store in my bag! – Fast reads! I’m transferring images at an average of 75MB/sec with USB 3.0 on a 2007 laptop. – I’ve never had any crashes or errors with the data. Very safe from my experience and I’ve been using these since 2007. + What’s not great about it: – I have no complaints.

Works great. Transfer process is a lot faster than my old portable hard drive.
