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 the My Passport Ultra will do the trick at a...

Great External hard disk with size, design, software tools. Even after using it for extended hours, HD is not heating. Pretty cool with this. I am little disappointed with the USB 2.0 transfer speed. It is around 25 MBPS which is lesser than my older HD. But other than everything is great with this.

I have connected this HDD to my network server and the family can upload photo's,music, films & documents they wish to share. Can also download to any device from the internet with plenty of room for films. Quick upload time with USB 3.

I have had this for a couple of months now and can't fault it. Its a small compact device but with 2TB, definately worth the price tag! Its sits nicely hidden behind my laptop and I can take it with me wherever I go if needed.

High speed USB 3.0 connection provides for super quick transfers; Faster than comparable Seagate Backup Plus 1TB drive; Security through password protection and drive encryption; Available in a handful of colors and capacities; Compact housing is aesthetically pleasing

More expensive than comparable Seagate Backup Plus 1TB drive; Cloud feature is just instructions to go use Dropbox

Western Digital's range of USB powered external hard drives - like the My Passport Ultra for instance - are fantastic options for affordable, portable storage… for your average consumer anyway.

This experience further cements WD's good name in my book.

I've owned this drive for 5 years, and gave it a lot of abuse; I've thrown it into backpacks, traveled with it, thrown it on the table, dropped it multiple times from desk height; The drive never skipped a beat; The last time I dropped it the plastic casing unsnapped , producing a gap in the body.

None that I can think of

What's striking about Western Digital's My Passport Pro portable hard drive is its size and weight. The 4TB version I tested weighs 1.58 pounds, which is light when compared to your average five-pound clay brick.

1T is plenty room for movies and music and add to that the price and 10th Anniversary Edition design and I am very pleased with my purchase !!!
