Review: GREAT Little Portable Drive - I did not download, nor use, the WD software that came with this drive. WD has a good reputation, and I suspect the SW provided would be worth using. But this drive was purchased for one function. This drive was recognized by the USB3 port on my desktop loaded with Windows 7 64 Bit. I bought this drive primarily to run periodic SYSTEM IMAGEs as a back-up to the software and files loaded on the internal Hard Drive. Unlike my other 1 TB WD external drive (not a My Passport version), it runs off the USB Power and does not require a separate power supply. Yeah! Windows 7 recognized the drive immediately and loaded the drivers. Works like a champ. And the USB 3.0 high speed transfer rate makes System Image backups lightning quick (compared to my other USB 2.0 external drives). I got the RED version because it was priced lower than the silver/black siblings on desertcart. Worth every cent spent. PS: I also used this drive on my HP Laptop as well using an USB 2.0 port for a back-up of my System Image (WIN 7). It ran using the USB 2 power without an issue, although the data transfer rate was considerably slower as expected. Review: 1TB storage at a good price,... - And it comes in four different colors! First, most people can use extra storage these days. Secondly, everyone should have a backup drive any way. My Passport Ultra by Western Digital does both very well. This drive works well on both PC's and Macs, and as a Mac user, I was concerned whether this product would be fully compatible with OSX 10.9.1. Yes, you can buy this in a Mac-only version (also made by WD), which costs about $5-$10 more; or you can save the money by getting this one. I got this one. It won't work on a Mac right out of the box, but following the simple reformatting instructions made this drive fully compatible with my operating system. Apple's Time Machine backup program works well with this drive, I have it backing-up my data twice a day. It has worked flawlessly during the three months that I've had it, and anyone who needs 1TB of storage in a small, portable package should give this product a serious look. It comes with the USB cable and is compatible with both USB 3.0 and 2.0. It works quietly, with little or no noticeable vibration. The finish is solid and attractive. Other 1TB portable drives I looked at were priced about $10-$20 more than this one, so the net savings after FREE SHIPPING from desertcart was at least $20. When my storage need increases (hopefully not, but most likely it will), I will be looking at WD's 2TB My Passport Ultra at $108 and free shipping on desertcart. Until then, this one will do the job! ## Features - Ultra-compact design with plenty of storage - Fast data transfers with USB 3.0 interface - USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 compatibility - Automatic back-up software for local back-ups - Cloud back-up through Dropbox - Password protection and hardware encryption - USB 3.0 connectivity - Automatic and cloud backup - Works great with Windows 8 - 3-year limited warranty.

Open "Applications"2. Open "Utilities"3. Open "Disk Utility"4. Select the HD you want to format on the left5. Click on the Erase tab6. Under "Format:" choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"7. Name the harddrive to whatever you want8. Click "Erase..."DONE! **Q: Is this the same as the WD Elements Portable Hard Drive** A: Reading the warranty info for all WD drives, I discover that the Passport Ultra carries a 3-year warranty while the WD Elements only rates 1 year of warranty. The WD My Book drives only get 2 years. The PP Ultra looks like the best deal to me even though it is a few more bucks than the Elements. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***O on March 13, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***N on January 13, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by R***E on April 9, 2014* ## Frequently Bought Together - (Old Model) WD My Passport Ultra 1TB Portable External USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Auto Backup, Red - WD 2TB Elements Portable External Hard Drive for Windows, USB 3.2 Gen 1/USB 3.0 for PC & Mac, Plug and Play Ready - WDBU6Y0020BBK-WESN - WD 1TB My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive, Black, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 compatible - WDBYVG0010BBK-WESN --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1211901-old-model-wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-portable-external-usb](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1211901-old-model-wd-my-passport-ultra-1tb-portable-external-usb) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-15*
