Product details
The premium trim of the My Passport family: a metal-topped portable drive with a true USB-C port, finished in blue. Five terabytes swallows a full game library, raw photo shoots and years of documents, and the included USB-C to USB-A adapter keeps older machines in play. WD layers on password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption plus Acronis True Image backup software with ransomware defense. It is bus-powered, slim enough for a laptop sleeve, and covered by a 3-year limited warranty.
Five terabytes is the size you buy when smaller drives have already filled up twice. In blue metal, this My Passport Ultra becomes the household vault: a complete backup of the gaming PC, the raw photo archive, years of family video and the documents folder, all in one place you can carry in a jacket pocket. Because it is bus-powered and genuinely slim for its capacity, the vault can travel — to a relative's house as an off-site copy, or in the laptop bag on a shoot or a trip.
The Ultra trim earns its name in the details. The port on the drive is true USB-C, and the box carries both a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so it plugs into a current laptop and a ten-year-old desktop with equal ease. The metal top shrugs off bag duty better than a plain plastic shell, and the blue finish makes this the drive you can spot in a drawer full of black ones.
Protection matches the capacity it guards: password protection backed by 256-bit AES hardware encryption, plus Acronis True Image for Western Digital software to schedule backups and help defend against ransomware. Set the schedule once and this 5TB blue Ultra quietly becomes the copy of everything that would hurt to lose, covered by a 3-year limited warranty.
