WD 6TB My Passport Ultra, Portable external storage, External hard drive, Software with defense against ransomware, backup and password protection - 20th Emerald Anniversay Edition

It's pretty & functional. I've taken the extended insurance warranty as well. Software could be a little better though. It defects an older version and fails to upgrade or reinstall. Overall a nice piece, might I add - prefect for special occasions.

Whenever I’m looking for an external hard drive, I always go for Western Digital. It’s a brand I trust and one that’s never let me down. The WD 6TB My Passport Ultra – 20th Emerald Anniversary Edition continues that tradition of reliability and quality. I bought this as an upgrade from my old 1TB drive, which had finally run out of space. This new 6TB version is a massive improvement – it easily stores all my photos, music, documents, and still has loads of room to grow. The transfer speeds are quick and consistent, and setup was super simple. The built-in backup software and password protection add an extra layer of peace of mind, and the fact that it includes ransomware protection is a huge plus in today’s digital world. On top of all that, the Anniversary Edition design looks sleek and modern – a great balance of style and function. Overall, this drive is great value for the price, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. Highly recommended for anyone needing dependable and secure storage in a portable package.

Great for media files.

I wanted a high-speed 5 or 6 TB HDD with included backup software and this 6TB model seemed to be have the best reviews. I don't actually like the colour-scheme of this "Emerald Anniversary" edition but I needed the drive quickly and no other colours were available, plus I keep this out of sight, so I compromised on the colour. The drive comes with a USB-C cable with a USB-C to USB-A adaptor, the file system is supplied as exFAT, which is fine for me so I didn't need to reformat. The drive contains a file with a link to downloading and installing the Acronis True Image software (for Windows or Mac), which is licensed for 5 years - it is this software which I have found to be the best reason for buying this drive and makes backing up so easy and flexible, e.g.: - schedules can be created - different backup methods are available (e.g. incremental, differential) - I use the "version chain scheme" which is a combination of full/incremental backups and automatically deletes versions older than 1 month, which should mean that I don't need to worry about manually purging old backups to free up space - you can also backup external drives connected to your PC, not just the internal drives So I am very pleased with this HDD so far - as a backup drive/software combo, it meets my needs completely. Price was reasonable too, and a reputable brand. Highly recommended.

So far so good. Easy to use and fast enough for me as back up drive. Nice design but not on show so kind of superfluous. Hope it lasts as long as previous WD drives

This is a great value drive with usb c on both sides and a usb c to A adaptor in case you need it. It comes with 5 years of back up software subscription. Which I had to use a few weeks after buying the drive. Totally unrelated problems to the drive however it worked and brought my system back perfectly.

Avoid -- They fail after a couple of months and you will lose all your data. I have bought 4 of these in the past couple of months, each 6TB, and they all eventually fail and you WILL lose all your precious data, and the worst part is you wont have a spare drive to backups Terra Bytes of data.

seems to work ok
