I've had it fo 3 months now, and I like its features: Excellent transfer speed, perfect storage capacity for my video and audio files,
Using 3.0, I get really good speeds, and photos and documents transfer at a fast rate.
Fast transfers clean looking chassy, makes a nice addon to the PlayStation 4
But my casual observations on MY PASSPORT ULTRA indicated a much more rapid transfer -- although it was not instantaneous, it was not pokey either.
This is severely inadequate considering that even new games bought on disc have large downloads necessary in order to play; and they actually recommend transferring the game to your drive anyway in order to speed load times (you still need the disc to prove ownership to play)

Since I'm using this drive to expand my XBOX One's storage, I can't say much to its PC performance (although when I first got it, my PC instantly recognized and set-up the drive connected via USB 2.0), but it's worked without a hitch on the XBOX One and I can wholeheartedly recommend it for that.
This hard drive has been very reliable and worked wonderful the whole time.
I've ruled out the cable, USB hub, motherboard port, and even the motherboard USB controller (as mine has two - used for different ports).The older generation WD drive (the all black one) works completely fine with no problems.
This one has been working great so far with no issues at all even after so many months of weekly use.

Feature-wise my passport and my passport ultra are almost identical, except for certain software features that are quite marginal in my opinion
One of the very cool features --that make it extremely portable-- is that it does not require external power supply.

so I can't comment on the software, but the local encryption looks like a nice feature
The build quality is nice, the additional features that comes with it are handy and it works quiet although at first I have heard the disk spin quite audible

I gave this 4 stars because the product is good quality and reliable

I have the 2014 model (Ultra Metal Edition) and it's much better quality all round, the new one looks & feels more like a cost cutting venture in comparison but still decent on its own.
Guess I can't count on consistent product quality anymore.

My first portable HDD was a 1TB seagate which is nice and compact and still works well, but it is just not spacious enough
I would definetely recommend this WD external portable HDD to the next person.

I have yet to decide if having 4Tb of portable storage is a good thing or not cos if the drive crashes there is the potential for heaps of data to be lost however on a cost bais ie $ per
We have the cloud now, and it is easy to think that is adequate storage, but there are too many iffy things about the cloud concept for me
WD always gives me the peace of mind, when it comes to safe data storage and reliability.
We've owned Western Digital external drives for a while and they have been reliable and secure storage devices.
Perhaps the fact that the storage is so dense, at 4TB on a small 2.5" drive, lends to the speed of access

I would not buy another one, I will go back to Seagate for my next hard drive as their products are easier to use and work on Mac and PC without complex, multi-step formatting and annoying settings that need to be turned off
This product has never worked as an automatic backup which is the reason it was purchased
Guess I can't count on consistent product quality anymore.
I recommend this product 1000% and with amazon prime it came super quick

The Xbox One X recognizes this issue every time I turn it on and recommends I either swap the cable connecting the HDD or replace the WD entirely
I really like this drive has capacity for storing all the documents, media, and backups, yet it’s so compact and nice-looking
It has a very large capacity - and herein lies the 'rub' for me
It comes with*usb 3.0 cable*Quick install guideI can trust this drive as much as I
I have so many storage devices laying around that it's hard to commit to buying yet another one, especially when I do have drives with enough capacity to manage backups, but the My Passport Ultra makes offsite backups a bit easier than I had it before, because I don't have to worry about power supplies, power cords, and being able to fit it into my bag

Used on my xbox one already half full of games but works perfectly and is a nice white color to add an accent on top of a black xbox
Several vibrant colors are available, which help you distinguish between different portable hard drives, if you have more than one
I don't know what happened, but for this generation of this drive, it appears that someone who was inexplicably and simultaneously color-blind, dyslexic, and was in the middle of a stroke did the aesthetic design
If you are a hard drive fashionista, these colors may appeal to you
