Interestingly, these were slightly slower than the performance of the original My Passport Ultra that came out two years ago. Via USB 3.0, it registered the sustained copy speed of 110MBps for writing and 117MBps for reading. The new My Passport Ultra it performed well in my testing. The band is designed to encircle the Ultra drive to offer better grip, a bit of protection against drops, and of course, more color options.Įach Grip Pack is slated to cost around $13 and you can mix and match the packs and the drive to create up to 24 color options. Each pack include a band and a color matching 18" USB 3.0 cable. The pack is available in five additional colors including smoke, slate, grape, sky and fuchsia. With the new Ultra, for the first time WD introduces the Grip Pack. The optional Grip Packs add even more colors to the drive. Both WD Drive Utilities and WD Security are available for both Windows and Mac.

The drive supports strong 256-AES hardware encryption, and once you've picked a password, the content is completely inaccessible if that password is forgotten. WD Security (Windows and Mac) lets you secure the drive's content with a password. WD Drive Utilities (Windows and Mac) includes utilities that enable you to check on the drive's status, test its functionality, or even reformat it. WD Backup does allow for backing up data onto a Dropbox account (not included), however.
You can't backup the entire system, either, to restore in case you need to replace the hard drive of the computer. Unfortunately, you can't change the backup frequency any further and there's no longer the option to backup each time you make changes to the computer. It allows you to pick what files and folders on the local drive that you want to backup (by default the data of the current user's profile is select), after that it will automatically perform the backup every hour, everyday or every month. WD Backup is now much more simple to use.

The WD Backup software, available only for Windows, is the replacement of the WD SmartWare, normally bundled with previous portable drives from WD.

You don't need to install any of these to use the drive but they adds a lot more value to the drive, especially for Windows users. The new My Passport Ultra is preloaded with WD Backup, WD Security, WD Utilities applications.
