WD Ultra Reviews

A nice external drive

It does the job, and seems to be a solid build. I'm using it for time machine backups and so far it works well.

Not Plug n Play

I purchased this as a backup solution for my MacBook based on a recommendation from a B&H associate. I thought it would be PnP like others I have, but when I connected it to my MacBook I found that it is not. I contacted B&H and asked if I could return it and purchase a different brand, but they would not do that since I had it over 30 days unused. I’ve spent thousands of dollars with them over the past few years, but that didn’t matter. I don’t know how well the HDD works because I still haven’t had time to figure out what I have to do to be able to get it to work with a MacBook.
