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.

Nothing standout remarkable here but what is there seems solid and runs just quickly enough to not feel slow. If it remains stable over time I will be please with the purchase.

THe product… is great… works perfectly… but talk about over complicated STUPID INSTRUCTIONS… and throwing software at you that you DON’T NEED and DON’t WANT… with the POOREST OF EXPLANATIONS of what the software does …. I printed out about 30 pages of what turned out to be COMPLETE NONSENSE… I think some of these tech writers pride themselves in throwing around terms like RESTORE and then not explaining any of what the write. I was able to transfer a SYSTEM IMAGE to the new hard drive… WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE. Why can’t they explain things so people can understand it.

The My Passport Ultra 4TB drive works perfectly as an image file backup on my Mac. It mounts quickly and stores 70 MB RAW image files at up to approximately 110 MB/sec when connected via USB-C to an iMac It’s a very quiet drive and the metal-clad case runs completely cool, even during long periods of operation. Hopefully it will continue to work reliable for many years Power consumption (bus powered) is 216 mA when connected but not mounted, 318 mA mounted at idle, and 690-750 mA during data read/write operation at a bus voltage of 5.07V. I have not used the supplied bloatware which requires on-line registration and download of instruction manuals. Since the function and features of the included applications was not provided with the drive, I deleted it all and re-formatted when I first installed the drive.

Easy to transfer files and small enough to store.

After years of using huge Lacie’s, I can’t believe how tiny, light and cheep this is. I backup my laptop to this guy. The only thing I’m wondering is how much you can bat it around–because it’s so portable, it makes me think I can throw it in my bag, but HD’s are generally meant to be fragile. I also love that it doesn’t need a separate plug, just powers off my machine.

I’ve been using these WD passport drives for years without issue. They’re fast and reliable. I use them in pairs as temporary backup drives to work from with full backup on a NAS. Great little drives, WD has these much improved aesthetically and overall performance wise over the years

It is a nice drive. I own many of their usb drives. It would nice to have 2 separate cables versus an adapter that can be lost easily.

Small, convenient, can use in editing.

It’s great to get the right answer for your question! Like- How can I easily backup my system? Here’s the Right Answer . . . super easy, user friendly! It works! Recommended! Remember, there are only two kinds of people in the world . 1) those who’ve lost data, and 2) those who are going to lose data!

$1600 later I had my data recovered, but I can’t say enough bad things about this drive.

I am a beginning photographer and needed extra storage to store RAW files. This portable hard drive was exactly what I needed and I got it at a great price. As a photographer, I am a life long customer of B&H!!
