It shows the disk 1TB at the bottom of the screen in BLACK = Unallocated Above shows my active C drive and DVD ROM and a SD CARD all in BLUE What next? The key is I DONT want to lose the data on the disk just as a reminder. Right click the drive in disk management, go to properties, click the volumes tab, what does it say for partition style? And is it showing the whole 1tb as unallocated? This could mean windows doesn't understand the partition table,so check that out and let me know what it says. Windows recognizes MBR and GPT partitions. It could be that your drive is using the Apple Partition Map,which isn't supported in windows.

If so ill check what to do to remedy this situation. Is drive ok?can you go back to a mac and see your data?

A fantastic storage companion for MacBook users. I’ve been a fan of Western Digital storage options for a very long time.

A company I used to work for had to do daily backups and per project backups and we relied on Western Digital products to ensure that our data was secured. In all the time we used WD hard drives, I don’t think we ever had a drive fail. Now that I am working independently and I need storage solutions for my media backups, I immediately looked to Western Digital. I have a 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro, which only had USB-C ports on it so I was grateful to find that WD had a portable storage option for people in my situation — the My Passport Ultra USB-C edition.

DETAILS The My Passport Ultra USB-C edition has the same compact design as classic My Passport drives from WD with the addition of a USB-C port. The case has been modified slightly from previous versions to include a metal cover. The drive is USB-C ready (as previously mentioned) and compatible with USB 3.0 (with the use of a provided adapter). The hard drive can act as an automatic backup drive and features password protection as an option. The hard drive can also be encrypted using 256-bit AES hardware encryption through WD Security. Thanks to WD’s built-in software, WD Discovery, the drive also features social media and cloud storage import. This utility software can also help to manage your hard drive with WD Drive Utilities.

Out of the box, the drive is Windows 10 ready, but it can be formatted to work with Mac computers, too. The My Passport Ultra USB-C is available in three sizes — 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB. It’s very easy to use and has a 3-year limited warranty. There are two color options — Blue/Black and Silver. USB-C version (blue) versus USB 3.0 version (white/gold) Package Includes: • My Passport Ultra Portable Storage • USB-C™ cable with USB 3.0 adapter • WD Discovery™ software* for WD Backup™, WD Security™ and WD Drive Utilities™ • Quick install guide USER EXPERIENCE The My Passport Ultra USB-C is an updated version of the My Passport Ultra (2017). The older version was only available with a USB 3.0 connection cable, which meant that users like me (with a USB-C MacBook computer) would have to use an adapter or dock in order to interface with the hard drive. The physical size of the hard drive hasn’t changed much model-to-model except that the corners are rounded on the 2018 model and it simply looks sleeker.
