WD My Passport Ultra 2TB USB-C Portable Hard Drive
2TBUSB 3.2 Gen 1Portable 2.5-inchBus-poweredUSB-C, metal top
The WD My Passport Ultra 2TB (part number WDBC3C0020BSL) is a portable 2.5-inch external hard drive connecting over USB 3.2 Gen 1 at up to 5 Gb/s. It is the metal-topped model in the My Passport family and the one with a genuine USB-C port, shipping with a USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter. At 14.0 mm the 2TB model is the slimmest in the range.
Before you buy: this is the only My Passport variant with a real USB-C port on the drive; the standard My Passport and the My Passport for Mac both use Micro-B. It is a mechanical 2.5-inch drive rather than an SSD, so do not move it while it is writing. It is formatted for Windows, and writing to it from macOS needs a downloadable NTFS driver or reformatting. The drive has a genuine USB-C port and ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter, so it connects to both modern and older machines without buying anything extra. It is bus-powered, so the single USB cable carries both data and power and there is no mains adapter to find a socket for.
Best For
✓ Modern laptops with USB-C only
A genuine USB-C port and a USB-C to USB-C cable in the box, with a USB-A adapter for older machines.
✓ Carrying files between machines
Bus-powered and only 14 mm thick at this capacity, so it slips into a laptop sleeve.
✓ Encrypted portable storage
Hardware encryption with password protection, so a lost drive does not mean lost data.
✓ Users who want a durable finish
A metal top rather than the plain plastic of the standard My Passport.
Key Features
Genuine USB-C port
The only My Passport variant with USB-C on the drive itself rather than Micro-B plus an adapter.
Both cables covered
A USB-C to USB-C cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter are both in the box.
Slimmest in the range
14.0 mm at 2TB, against 21 mm for the 4TB and 5TB models.
Metal top design
A metal cover for added durability over an enclosure Western Digital states is more than 50 percent recycled plastic.
Hardware encryption with password protection
Encryption runs on the drive itself, so it does not slow down the host computer.
Acronis True Image for Western Digital
Backup software with ransomware protection, licensed for use with the drive as a download.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the WDBC3C0020BSL work with a Mac?
It connects fine over USB-C, but it arrives formatted for Windows. To write to it from macOS you either install the downloadable NTFS driver Western Digital provides or reformat it, which erases the contents. If you want a Mac-ready drive out of the box, the My Passport for Mac is preformatted HFS+.
What cable comes with the WDBC3C0020BSL?
A SuperSpeed USB-C to USB-C cable rated at 5 Gbps, plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter. That covers both a modern laptop with only Type-C ports and an older machine with Type-A.
What is the difference between My Passport Ultra and the standard My Passport?
The Ultra has a genuine USB-C port, a metal top and a USB-C to USB-C cable. The standard My Passport uses a Micro-B port with a USB-A cable and a plastic enclosure. Capacity, speed class and encryption are comparable.
What do I need to know before buying the WDBC3C0020BSL?
It arrives formatted and ready to use but you may want to reformat it for your operating system, which erases the contents. It is bus-powered from the USB cable. A single external drive is not a backup strategy on its own; keep a second copy of anything irreplaceable.
Singular Expert Insight
The Ultra is worth the premium over the standard My Passport for one practical reason: the USB-C port. Every other drive in the family, including the Mac-branded one, reaches USB-C only through an adapter. At 2TB it is also the slimmest version at 14 mm, which makes a noticeable difference in a bag. The underlying mechanism is still a 2.5-inch hard drive, so treat it as an archive and transfer drive rather than a working disk.

Buyer's Guide
Buy this if
You want a portable drive with a real USB-C port and a metal finish, at mechanical-drive prices rather than SSD prices.
Skip if
You will edit video or run applications from the drive, or you want it Mac-formatted out of the box.

WD My Passport for Mac if you want HFS+ preformatting, WD Elements SE for a cheaper drive without encryption, or an external SSD for speed.
