5TB portable storage for Mac users

This Western Digital My Passport Ultra drive provides 5TB of capacity in a silver metal enclosure. It connects via USB-C with a supplied USB 3.1 Gen 1 adapter for broader compatibility. The drive arrives formatted HFS+ Journaled for immediate use with macOS Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra or El Capitan. A downloadable HFS+ driver enables read and write access on Windows 10 and later systems.

Check your Mac OS version and USB ports

Verify that your Mac runs one of the listed macOS releases so the factory format works without reformatting. Confirm you have a USB-C port for direct connection or a USB-A port for the included adapter. Windows users must be prepared to install the downloadable HFS+ driver before the drive becomes writable. Ensure your system meets the stated compatibility requirements before ordering.

Metal enclosure with encryption and backup tools

The 0.83-inch thick metal case houses the drive and relies on bus power from the host port. Password protection uses 256-bit AES hardware encryption managed through WD Drive Utilities. WD Discovery software lets you schedule automatic backups hourly, daily or monthly and import content from social media and cloud services. The package includes the drive, a USB-C cable with USB 3.1 adapter, software and a quick install guide.

Questions about this item

What cables and software come in the box with the My Passport Ultra for Mac, and do I need to buy anything else to use it?

The box includes a USB-C cable with a USB 3.1 adapter, WD Discovery software, WD Drive Utilities and a quick install guide. No extra purchase is required for basic operation.

Should I choose this 5 TB model or is there a different capacity that suits a lighter backup routine?

This drive provides 5 TB of space. If your photo, video and document libraries are smaller, a lower-capacity My Passport Ultra for Mac would cost less while keeping the same metal design and encryption features.

What does the USB 3.1 Gen 1 interface mean for actual file-transfer speed when the drive is connected to my Mac?

USB 3.1 Gen 1 supports up to 5 Gbit/s bandwidth, so large transfers such as 4K video folders will move at the mechanical drive's sustained rate rather than being limited by the port.
