According to our external hard drive HDD expert
Save all your music, photos, and projects on the WD My Passport Ultra 5TB Blue. Connect it to your laptop or PC and transfer your files via USB 3.0. Because USB 3.0 is up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0, you won't have to wait long. This ultra version of the Passport has a metal casing and is slightly thinner than the regular version. You can back up this drive automatically, thanks to the WD Smartware Pro software. You can personally set this up to occur constantly in the background or at a specific time. If you want to store your files safely, use the WD Security software to set a password. This way, no one can access your private files.

The weak point on this WD drive is the USB-C connection, which is not solid and where it gets slack quite quickly. That is annoying when writing or reading large files (eg HD movies). If the drive moves during the data transfer, there is a chance that the USB-C cable will slip out of the housing or move so that you can start over. I previously had the same problem with WD drives with a USB Micro-B connection. Apparently WD hasn't learned it yet.

I ordered the backup disk and was happy when it arrived a couple of days later. Had to format it for Mac as it was formatted for Windows. Had tremendous difficulty in trying to format this hard disk. I repeated the process four or five times. Then I finally got it working and it kept stopping with the time machine back up multiple times, as the USB-C was extremely sensitive. After multiple times of not being able to conclude the time machine backup, I tried to reformat it, and that did not work at all. Finally, after trying many many times with formatting, backing up, and starting again, I gave up. I looked up what was closest Cool Blue store and I brought the hard disk back. The service department there confirmed that there were many problems with this hard disk WD my passport Ultra and suggested another device. However, that device was not available now. The service person asked me if I would like a refund or an alternative device, which she suggested. That alternative device was not available in time so I took the refund and then tried to post a review. This is the third time because the other two were not posted.
