Fast Backup
I was using a WD 1T Passport with the original USB connection from practically the dark ages and it was performing so slowly, taking hours to back up. I finally bought this 5T model and it backs up in bare minutes. It plugs directly into my MacBook Pro with USB C. No complaints, it works seamlessly with Time Machine.

Massive, Secure Storage in a Sleek Mac-Friendly Design
The WD 6TB My Passport Ultra for Mac is a high-capacity, portable external hard drive designed for reliable storage and seamless backup. With USB-C and USB 3.1 connectivity, it offers fast transfer speeds and easy plug-and-play use. Built-in backup software, password protection, and ransomware defense keep your files secure, while the sleek silver design complements any Mac setup. Perfect for large media libraries, work documents, or everyday file storage, this drive combines convenience, performance, and peace of mind.I orders the 6TB to consolidate other smaller drives that had been formatted on MSFT so I can organize and delete on my new Mac. Small and quiet!

Great drive but DEFECTIVE/mis-toleranced CABle included – DO NOT USE!!
Great drive but TERRIBLE mis-toleranced/defective cable included. See below for details.Great drive. I wanted to get a 5 TB size HDD to store all my Ripped CDs to be able to stream them on my network.Ive been using WD drives for a long time. Never had any issues. I have a Windows system1) Great Drive. I checked the drive integrity using the included WD tools and it checked out fine. I deleted the utilities to leave a blanl drive. This left 4.54 TB of available space (Formatting drive takes up 0.46 TB)2) The included CABLE is 100% Junk. Throw it away. It is designed improperly with bad specs that do not fit into ANY of the USB-C ports I have. It is very loose and falls out. I had read a few reviews that mentioned this fact so just in case along with my order I got this Anker Powerline II USB-C to USB-C cable:https://amzn.to/3gK8reuIt sucks to have to spend an additional $10-20 for a cable to be able to use a product that should included a good one but….Oh well.The included ADAPTER is GREAT perfectly fine with the Anker cable. It locks/clicks in place as it should. But the included WD cable just falls out/is very loose and will not work. I made sure to line up the arrows on the cable. Tried it on my laptop USB-C port and the WD HDD and my Android cell phone all of which have USB-C ports and it did NOT work / lock in pla ce. I will be contacting both Amazon and WD to complain about this. Not acceptable. Terrible Quality control to not test the fit of the cable to a mating device.3) I ran benchmark tests using Crystal DiskMark 7.00 x64 bit to test the empty drive out. I ran two scenarios. One going direct from laptop USB-C port to USB-C port on WD HDD (no adapter) and one test when using the included USB-C to USB 3.1 type A adapter in between the laptop and the WD HDD. You can see the results in the attached image, Not much difference in using the USB-C port directly or the USB 3.1 port so thats good to know. Your result will vary.Im using a Dell XPS 15 hi spec machine on Windows 10 ProOf note: The disk LED light is always flashig on the HDD even when its not reading/writing data. I think you can turn that off but my other 3 WD external HDDs dont do that. They only flash the LED light when actually reading/writing.Hope this is helpful.Keep the drive. Ditch the cable.Good luck

Great HDD
I ordered the 6TB 20th Anniversary Emerald Edition drive in September and have been using it ever since. I have owned several WD Passport HDDs and have never been disappointed in their performance. I feel certain that as capacities continue to increase, I’ll end up buying more in years to come.In spite of my overwhelmingly positive opinion about this HDD, there is one design issue that I find absolutely baffling. The LED is on the same end of the drive as the USB-C jack where the data cable is inserted. To my way of thinking, this is backwards- the data port should be on the rear of the unit and the LED should be on the OPPOSITE end. Having both the LED and USB-C port on the same end means that to have the unit positioned so the LED is visible, you have a cable sticking out and projecting toward you. It’s helpful for a number of reasons for any HDD to have an LED- I believe it is an important and necessary design feature. But to see it, you have a cable projecting toward you…this is the nuttiest design I have ever seen and I don’t know how it ever entered production with such an awkward feature.

Un producto de primera calidad, con unos acabados y diseño notables. La experiencia de uso de momento genial. Ha sido conectarlo al mac y en poco más de media hora aproximadamente ha realizado una copia de casi 500gb. A nivel sonoro, diría que es imperceptible. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

Just started using this disk that I bought in july, but today it broke down on me. Unable to mount and making bad sounds. Probably lost all data on it.
