About WD My Passport Ultra
FEATURED REVIEWS
Who could ask for more?
Simply amazing device. I can not get over just how compact this 5 TB drive is. Data transfer rates are incredibly fast (this is a native USB-C device). Comes with NTFS file system pre-formatted (which I find far more space efficient than exFAT). Low power requirements, easily supplied by most USB-3 and USB-C ports. Comes with a USB-3 to USB-C adaptor. If using a Windows 10 Pro computer, I strongly recommend using the Win 10 Bitlocker capability to encrypt all the data you place on this drive....
