Portable storage with USB-C and USB 3.1

The Western Digital My Passport Ultra is a 2 TB portable hard drive that connects through USB-C and USB 3.1. A refined metal cover gives it a distinctive look. Password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption helps keep files secure. It is formatted for Windows 10 and includes software for backup and cloud import.

Suits users who want styled portable backup

This drive suits people who value a metal-and-matte design and want hardware encryption plus bundled backup software for Windows 10, 8.1 or 7. macOS users must download an NTFS driver to read and write, and reformatting is required for Time Machine. Buyers who need bus-powered solid-state speed or ruggedised drop protection should look elsewhere.

USB-C and USB 3.1 interface decides compatibility

The single specification that determines fit is the USB-C and USB 3.1 connection. Your computer must provide a compatible port and enough bus power for a mechanical drive. If your system only offers older USB ports without an adapter, the drive will not operate at its intended performance.

Questions about this item

How much usable space does the 2 TB capacity provide once the drive is formatted and running in a real machine?

After formatting and the file system overhead, you will see slightly less than the full 2 TB reported by the operating system, which is normal for any hard drive.

What does the USB 3.1 interface actually cap the transfer speed at in everyday use?

The USB 3.1 Gen 1 connection tops out at 5 Gb/s, but the mechanical hard drive inside typically delivers well below that ceiling in sustained reads and writes.

What physical clearance does the metal-cased drive need to fit into a laptop bag or desk drawer?

The slim, rectangular metal enclosure slides easily into most laptop sleeves and shallow drawers without requiring extra vertical clearance.
