USB-C version (blue) versus USB 3.0 version (white/gold) There are two color options - Blue/Black and Silver. It’s very easy to use and has a 3-year limited warranty. The My Passport Ultra USB-C is available in three sizes - 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB. Out of the box, the drive is Windows 10 ready, but it can be formatted to work with Mac computers, too. This utility software can also help to manage your hard drive with WD Drive Utilities. Thanks to WD’s built-in software, WD Discovery, the drive also features social media and cloud storage import. The hard drive can also be encrypted using 256-bit AES hardware encryption through WD Security. The hard drive can act as an automatic backup drive and features password protection as an option.

The drive is USB-C ready (as previously mentioned) and compatible with USB 3.0 (with the use of a provided adapter). The case has been modified slightly from previous versions to include a metal cover. The My Passport Ultra USB-C edition has the same compact design as classic My Passport drives from WD with the addition of a USB-C port. I have a 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro, which only had USB-C ports on it so I was grateful to find that WD had a portable storage option for people in my situation - the My Passport Ultra USB-C edition. Now that I am working independently and I need storage solutions for my media backups, I immediately looked to Western Digital. In all the time we used WD hard drives, I don’t think we ever had a drive fail. A company I used to work for had to do daily backups and per project backups and we relied on Western Digital products to ensure that our data was secured. I’ve been a fan of Western Digital storage options for a very long time. A fantastic storage companion for MacBook users.
