For this review, we had the 2TB model in Blue to test.The drive is small and lightweight so it can easily fit it in your pocket, and its also quiet, which is what you want for a portable drive. There is no power supply with this drive, it is powered from...
Abstract: The new drives are available in 1TB, 2TB and newly 3TB versions. They are all the same size and in my tests did not require external power other than that coming down the provided USB3 lead, they also work correctly on USB2 drives but of course the data t...
For this review, we had the 2TB model in black to test.The drive is small and lightweight so it can easily fit it in your pocket, and its also quiet, which is what you want for a portable drive. There is no power supply with this drive, it is powered from...
The new and compact My Passport Ultra portable drive offers up to 3TB of storage space, delivers fast performance and comes in many color options. The drive works right out of the box, features hardware encryption and includes helpful backup software
The WD Backup software can't backup the entire system as an image and won't backup based on changes in real time. The new drive's performance, though quite fast, was a bit slower than the previous version
The WD checks the boxes on everything you'd want in a portable storage drive, and with a stylish multiple color option, it's a easy recommendation...

The My Passport Ultra Metal offers good value as a solidly constructed portable drive. It has good software support and decent all-round performance for the category of portable disk....
Abstract: Finding all this information elsewhere is less easy so let's hope it's just my PC that it was fussy with.It is 12.5x8.5x2cm and weights 279grams.The top has two LEDs, green and blue. From switching on to both being shown is just under 30seconds after that...
Absolutely stunning looks, Very classy finish, High build quality, Robust metal casing, Ideal stocking filler/gift
Expensive for what it is, Weighs quite a bit for something portable
So Christmas is coming fast (already November) and the time of looking for gifts for friends, loved ones, colleagues and of course yourself is upon us. What relevance does that have do you ask? Well the Western Digital My Passport Ultra 2TB USB 3.0 Exte...

The great thing about the WD Ultra is its raw transfer speed - USB 3.0 is fast. It's unusual that a portable hard drive impresses us in this regard, but the Ultra really did. It's got a decent capacity for a fair enough price point and you won't get...

Fast High capacity Nice design Portable
Plastic case not as sturdy as other hard drives
So is the Western Digital My Passport Ultra the ultimate external hard drive? Not really. Its speeds are around the same as the Western Digital My Passport Slim – which of course is no bad thing – but because of the Slim's sturdy and small case, we much ...
slim, light portable USB 3.0 drive, good value for money, high performance for file back-ups
no Firewire or Thunderbolt interface, plastic case isn’t very rugged Requirements: Mac with USB 2.0 or 3.0
It could definitely be a bit more rugged, and we'd like to see a proper Mac version with either a Thunderbolt or Firewire interface. But if you just want a basic USB 3.0 drive that is light and portable and provides good performance for file back-ups then...
