This is a high capacity external hard drive. The drive measures 4.25”x3.25”x0.75” and weighs 255 gm (9 oz). It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to USB 3 A adapter. It comes formatted and ready to use and pre-loaded with WD Discovery software for Windows or Mac. The drive is an active hard drive (not SSD), powered through the USB cable; no additional power cable is required. The WD Discovery software allows you to set up auto backup options, password protection, import cloud images and documents for Facebook, Instragra, Dropbox, OneDrive, GoogleDrive, etc. WD recommends this drive for Windows 10, 8.1, or 7 (they have a Mac version for Macs, although it is possible to set this drive to use on Macs as well). You also have the option of not installing the WD Discovery software if you don’t need it. The product comes backed with a 3 year warranty. I am very impressed with this drive. As a photographer, I need high capacity back-up drives, and I regularly fill big ones like this 4 Tb drive. It has a transfer speed of 5 Gbps when using a USB 3 connection. The disk runs at 5400 rpm, slow for a disk that you use for constant data storage and retrieval, but acceptable for backup storage. This drive has the smallest form factor that I have seen for an external 4 Tb drive, making it easier to carry around and store. Since it is an active drive with moving disks, you do need to treat it with care, protecting it from bumps and drops, especially when running. Basically, before plugging it in, make sure it is in a safe, secure place where it won’t be knocked or dropped. I’ve experienced a lot of disk crashes, and over time, I’ve found that WD drives have been more reliable and less prone to crashing than other brands that I have tried. Overall, this is a smooth running, high capacity storage drive that is easy to use and should provide years of service.

As others have pointed out, it works well out of the box, but then seems to hiccup with the Mac OS. I turned off the WD sleep feature as another user suggested and it seemed to help for the next backup. Then the same error message popped up after another backup attempt. I looked through WD’s website and did not find any help. Found an Apple support message that suggested that any sort of disc control, anti virus, or other similar type of third party app / utility might hinder the auto backup features of Time Machine. So I uninstalled all of WD’s apps and it seems to be doing backups without any issue for a solid week now. Bottom line is this is a reasonably priced, reasonably looking external hard drive for time machine to use. Just let the Mac OS be in control and don’t bother with the WD apps / utilities.

This hard drive failed after a month with no physical damage. It was kept in a soft bag and was handled with care and still just stopped working. A data recovery company wanted $1,450 to perform a level 3 recovery of my data. I learned my lesson and set up a NAS server for backup in my home. Needless to say, i will not be buying WD hard drives in the future.

Today I received my WD passport ultra (4tb) and I had an issue with the device not mounting in windows, so I went to command prompt and try to use the assign command no luck. So I went to disk management and found that the drive was not formatted to ntfs like the description said, so I formatted the drive and I accidentally formatted my old dying hard drive where I was supposed to move my files from. I restored all my files by using filezilla and recuva and waisted alot of my time. I expect more from Western digital as a customer ever since 2008, and I expect a plug and play experience from when I open the package. The drive itself is nice in the hand and is really quiet during operation. The drive speed is ok but not mind blowing like an external SSD. The story I just told is a good lesson that you should watch out what you're formatting (also WD needs better quality control).

It seems to be well constructed, the top is a thin aluminum and the rest of the body is plastic, so if you want to know, the whole body is NOT metal. The cable that comes with it does not seat well (or at all) in my MacBook Pro, it comes out if you look at it wrong. I tried different USB-C cables but found out you have to use a gen 2 cable or the speeds are super slow, so now I have had to order a new cable for a brand-new drive. 🙄 This one is replacing a 1 year old WD My Passport 2TB drive, and the new one is much faster. My screenshots show the old drive first and the new drive second. So the write speed is 118% faster and the read speed is 132% faster. Overall I like the drive and has always had good luck with the longevity of WD drives, I just wish that the cable that came with it wasn't so bad.

I bought this drive because I needed a new one as my old one was filled. A 4TB was perfect! I also have an old Macbook Air with USB-A connections and a new Macbook Air with USB-C, so when I saw that this drive comes with an adapter, I was sold!... until I plugged in the drive with the adapter attached realized how SLOW it is. I did several tests, using both computers and the drive with and without the adapters and discovered that using the adapter slows the drive down by 3x. For example, what would take 5 minutes to transfer data using my old external HD with a dedicated USB-A connection takes 15 minutes with this drive. Disappointing. If you just use it as a USB-C drive without the adapter it's fine (although no faster than an old drive with USB-A).
