This drive is amazing, fast and very reliable so far. It has been very easy to use and transfer photos, and valuable documents. It was simple for me to back up all my devices and laptop. I just love this drive for my back up needs.

Very fast compared to the Seagate I replaced this with. 4T of space and backing up files in a snap priceless. I didn't do an analysis of how fast it was copying files all I know is it took less than 30 seconds to copy an entire folder of stuff I needed to backup.

I had to put 16 days of video on this. I film 250 gigabytes a days. Worked quick and easy, file transfer was a snap. Product feels very sturdy and like it is built to last. Not a single problem with it.

I recently picked up an external hard drive from Best Buy, and it’s been a fantastic addition to my workflow. Setup was instant — just plug it in and you’re good to go. I’ve been using it for everything from video projects to photo storage, and the transfer speeds are super fast, even with large files.
It’s compact enough to travel with but still feels durable and well-built. I especially appreciate the peace of mind knowing my files are backed up and secure. Whether you’re a content creator, student, or just someone who needs extra space, this drive is a solid investment.
Highly recommend for anyone who values speed, reliability, and simplicity!

I needed more room for photos and videos. Western Digital is one of the biggest names in HDs and this doesn't disappoint. Very compact design and a pretty good price.
Though it is a little bit more, this version (the Ultra) comes with a USB-C cable (and a USB adapter). The transfer rate is extremely fast with USB-C so definitely worth the few extra bucks.

WD 4T my passport ultra excellent portable drive

My passport ultra 4T from WD, this is good portable drive, i also own a 1T that is almost full that is why i bought the 4T to backup all my files from the 1T & to have additional spaces. I never had any issue with my passport ultra, they are fast when transferring data & easy to use. So far so good w/ the 4T, i specifically like the metal case frame on the 4 T, they only thing i am not a big fan is installing the WD software on my PC. It's a great portable drive based on past experience they are very reliable, i hope the 4T will be as good as the 1T & the 250G i owned for quite some time.

I needed a lot of space with all the video and pictures I create. I saw this 4TB and had to try it. So far it has been a very good hard drive to me, compact, and fits easy in my backpack side pocket. Load and upload speeds are fantastic too.

I purchased this hard drive for my wife to match her keyboard. I was very pleased with the value that I received for this product. In addition, the password protection and data encryption were also deciding factors for my purchase. My wife hasn't used it yet, but she has plenty of space once she does. I would be more than happy to purchase another one if she needs it down the road. I was so pleased with my purchase that I purchased a different hard drive for myself later in the day. I'll be doing that review shortly. As always, the curbside pickup experience was excellent. On a side note, I do not remember hard drives being this small. This is typical in today's society. Everything is getting more compact. I do like the small size of the hard drive as it takes up very little space.

Excellent product, looks nice too, small and compact. Priced better than SSD. You only need HD for data and movies, you would benefit more from SSD if storing programs.

This W My Passport Ultra TB External hard drive is going to store all the photos I am scanning for my children and grandchildren to have access to after I’m gone. I’ve also moved all the photos that have been on my MacBook to the drive so that I have moe memory now on the laptop.
