The Western Digital My Passport Ultra(2TB) is a reliable external hard drive with some premium features that make it more attractive than just buying a basic model. The color choices and optional Grip Packs allow you to customize the device to your personal aesthetic, and the 256-bit hardware encryption helps keep your files secure. The included three-year warranty is triple that offered with other basic models, and matches that of the Seagate Backup Plus Fast. The Seagate model remains our Editors’ Choice for portable hard drives, because it’s simply a better drive for getting projects done, since it’s a faster performer too.
