Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the My Passport Ultra 4TB External Hard Drive's substantial storage capacity and ease of use. Many appreciate its reliability and compact size, making it suitable for travel. While the inclusion of USB-C compatibility is a plus for modern devices, some customers have expressed a desire for a longer cable and clearer instructions for the transfer software.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged).

    The hard drive is great! Works like a charm. I had problems with my old one. It was the same one but a different model. This one works so much better.

    The drive itself does what it should, and it is visually pleasing. It came with software that would not install after numerous attempts and wasted time. Then I called customer support and learned that it was obsolete. I had to download something else from their website. I think the drive should have come with a warning label that the user would have to call customer support, since the software already on it was obsolete.

    It works terrific for backing up PC and unloading smaller capacity flash drives, to free up camera photo & video space. I would give it 5 Stars if it worked as well with Macs.

    This passbook did not work what so ever. I was not able to drop any media onto it at all. I am a movie/film producer. This is a huge problem. I am now waiting for Best Buy to open so I can get a new one before a media trip. Great way to waste my time.
