How is this "Ultra" drive different from the NON-"Ultra" drive? null

Question

Todd · Accepted Answer

To be honest...... It's marketing in most cases; however, it can and sometimes means slight speed improvements, etc. But in these models, I have personally not noticed a difference as a "normal" user, but I did not benchmark them either. I ALWAYS go with the cheaper model..... Just saying

The My Passport Ultra drive has a 2-tone metal case rather than plastic.
It's definitely worth the additional $5-$10 cost (even better if you happen to catch it on sale!)

I have both and believe it or not, for me the none "Ultra" works much better and faster than the "Ultra" ;)

The “Ultra” just has a flashy metal casing on top instead of the normal plastic covering.

I don’t know but I’m taking a guess some feedback better then any right?
My guess is the 3.0 usb speed that’s a good reason to name it ultra
Also the big storage 
Or could just be the name as a selling point.
Hope this helped.
