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

Unfortunately I don't have a time machine so this was quite expensive (March 2026) but being Green it seemed to be an unpopular choice and was significantly cheaper than the more traditional colours. It's a 6tb WD drive for storing information. The colour makes little difference to the mechanics, and to be honest it certainly stands out! It has USB-C connectors on the casing (unlike the earlier versions) and includes a USB-A adapter. The drive is quick and (so far) reliable, and I purchased the extra insurance as a safety measure which I hope I don't have to use.

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.

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.

Brilliant storage capacity, easy to use and also easy installation with the Western Digital app. Excellent value for money and so quiet when operational. Compact and eye catching design makes this drive stand out.

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.

Nice looking drive that is easily identifiable from my other black WD drives. Delivery was rather slow..

Do not buy, stopped working after 9 months . The wires & port are flimsy so don't connect properly.

Läckert Snygg, snabb och behändig! StilPoäng! Jag formaterade om den till NTFS eftersom den var formaterad exFAT och det inte är lika snabbt för stora filer (som jag ska använda den till) och exFAT har inte heller har "inbyggt skydd" mot korrupta filer vilket NTFS . Bra med adapter för USB 3 till sladden. Enda minuset är att deras (WD) kablar kunde varit lite längre än de är. 10 cm till eller nåt...

excellent. rapide. J'aurais dû en acheter trois avant que les tarifs explosent !

Good i like it , looks special and good performance and i like the type C as well

No protector frame inside the package!!!

Ich vertraue WD, und wie immer funktioniert es gut.
