WD 2TB My Passport Ultra, portable external storage, external hard drive, software with defense against ransomware, backup and password protection, Works with PC, Xbox S|X, PS5, PS4, Midnight Blue

This is a great harddrive - not many for the price I paid at the time (£95 - I think it was on sale) that have a USB-C connection with a 5TB capacity! I bought this harddrive to store all my Premiere Pro, After Effects and DaVinci Resolve files on, and use it when creating videos for my YouTube channel (same name as my Amazon if you want to check me out ;) ). It runs really well, never slow loading and has been very reliable for over a year for me. It's got a nice metallic design, and comes with a USB-A adapter. I would recommend this portable harddrive to anyone who's looking for something great.

This is a great little backup hard drive. Great capacity, small and easily portable. It comes with a USB C to USB C lead and a USB C to USB A adaptor. The adaptor connects to the end of the lead and this gives you the ability to connect the disk to a USB C or USB A port on your PC or Laptop. Very easy to use. If you are going to lug it around in a laptop bag then get a protective case for it to keep dust out of the USB C connection and to protect the hard drive from knocks

Speeds ok for a HDD. I like that its powered off the USBC connector. The price per GB is pretty good. Clearly its not going to be near SSD M2 speeds, but for movies and video storage its works.

I purchased this as a Time Machine for my M1 MacBook Pro and haven't been disappointed. Though this isn't the 'Mac' version that WD sells, the only (official) difference is that products are formatted differently out of the box. Well, that's what Disk Utility is for! So save yourself some money. The Ultra version of My Passport features a half metal enclosure (though to be frank it's like tin) and USB-C cable with USB-A adapter, making it convenient for any modern Mac. The drive is much smaller than I anticipated and could easily fit in a jacket pocket! Though the lack of protection suggests this wouldn't be a good idea... Being sat on a desk with its rubber feet, quiet operation and sleek design, I think this makes the perfect Time Machine companion. A general rule of thumb is that your Time Machine should be at least twice the size of your Mac's drive, so 2TB seems to be the sweet spot for most people. Also keep in mind that the 4TB model is not only a lot more expensive but also twice the thickness. No issues!

Perfect for doing your own backups if, like me, you don’t want to rely on cloud storage. Like all small disk drives, the throughput drops from over 100MB per second to about half that speed as you fill up the disk. Note this drive has a USB C connection, so it is future proofed.

Excellent

I work with video editing on PC and these days I "consume" these drives at an incredible pace since I need to take material between offices and to/from clients. I have used many other brands. Of course Apple has its own high level drives and there are a couple of brands that are even more "pro" than the WD MyPassport, but they are also twice the price! There are also some comparable or cheaper priced products and since I am lugging around my laptop with these drives in the font pocket, I have had errors and failed drives with the other brands - to my horror! But this one, the WD MyPassport both in Ultra and Normal config (the interface is different) are both super reliable so far. I've dropped one and my heart stopped... but oh miracle it worked after with no errors! Of course it's not toughened with rubber in the corners, but it's compact and pretty robust. I can fit 6 in my laptop bag front pocket. A bit heavy, but that's the best around at the moment, short of breaking the bank.

Hardly used. Died now. It beeps and clicks. Been 5 years only. Lost my data

Perfekt for Time Machine

Na ongeveer 11 maanden gebruik is de WD schijf defect. Dé schijf was zichtbaar vanuit Windows, maar de inhoud niet. Ik heb geprobeerd met verschillende computers (Windows 10 en 11} en met verschillende kabels met steeds hetzelfde resultaat. Ik heb dan verschillende suggesties geprobeerd van de WD en Windows sites, de enige schijnbare oplossing was uiteindelijk het formatteren van de WD schijf (zeer onbetrouwbaar bij gebruik van de schijf als back-up). Blijkt echter dat bij copieren van een directory naar de WD schijf slechts een deel van de subdirectories gecopieerd wordt. Zelfde toestand na opnieuw herformatteren. Besluit : de schijf is defect en volledig onbetrouwbaar voor back-up. Nota : ik heb nog 3 andere, oudere, externe harde schijven (ook vroeger gekocht bij Amazon) van andere merken. Met deze heb ik nog nooit een probleem gehad. Prima service van Amazon ivm de garantie van 2 jaar.

Great work. Fast data transfer. Enjoying it.

Forks flawlessly. Very compact as well. Can be ran by an android phone. Excellent.

問題なく使えています 取り込みスピードも気になりません 6ギガを購入しましたがバッファローの4ギガHDDより一回り小さめでした
