This utility software can also help to manage your hard drive with WD Drive Utilities. Thanks to WD’s built-in software, WD Discovery, the drive also features social media and cloud storage import. The hard drive can also be encrypted using 256-bit AES hardware encryption through WD Security. The hard drive can act as an automatic backup drive and features password protection as an option. The drive is USB-C ready (as previously mentioned) and compatible with USB 3.0 (with the use of a provided adapter). The case has been modified slightly from previous versions to include a metal cover.

The My Passport Ultra USB-C edition has the same compact design as classic My Passport drives from WD with the addition of a USB-C port. I have a 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro, which only had USB-C ports on it so I was grateful to find that WD had a portable storage option for people in my situation - the My Passport Ultra USB-C edition.

Now that I am working independently and I need storage solutions for my media backups, I immediately looked to Western Digital. In all the time we used WD hard drives, I don’t think we ever had a drive fail. A company I used to work for had to do daily backups and per project backups and we relied on Western Digital products to ensure that our data was secured. I’ve been a fan of Western Digital storage options for a very long time. A fantastic storage companion for MacBook users.
