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.

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.

Great for media files.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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

Uno de los pocos discos duros de este tipo que hay de 6Gb. El tamaño de la unidad es estandard, aunque un poco más grueso que mi anterior Toshiba. La velocidad es la esperada para un disco rotativo. Incluye una licencia de 5 años para hacer imagenes completas de otros discos duros. No incluye un manual de uso, pero lo primero que tienes que hacer para disfrutar de sus ventajas de seguridad es instalar un archivo que viene dentro al abrirlo por primera vez. Este programa te permite gestionar la contraseña, bloquear la unidad e instalar otras aplicaciones, incluso puedes desactivar el led exterior. Una vez tienes el discoduro bloqueado, lo que pasará es que cuando lo conectes no podrás ver su contenido, en cambio, te dejará ver un programa ejecutable para que introduzcas la contraseña de desbloqueo, aunque si ya tienes el programa instalado en el ordenador no te hará falta ejecutarlo. En general el disco es silencioso pero si quieres que lo sea aun más puedes ponerlo sobre una almoadilla de ratón o similar para que no se transmita la vibración al escritorio. Esta edición especial tiene un embellecedor de aluminio en la parte superior. El resto es plástico que se ve un poco barato, pero creo que es lo mejor porque el aluminio se raya con facilidad, de hecho me planteo ponerle algun tipo de cobertura protectora al aluminio. Producto recomendado.

No protector frame inside the package!!!
