Like all WD devices, the My Passport Ultra is very easy to get up and running; simply plug the device into a USB 3.0 connection and download the WD Utilities, WD Backup and WD Security software from the company website. Users also have the option of running the setup client, which comes pre-loaded on their drive. Here, they can choose whether they want to simply install one program, or to install all of the bundled software. The whole process was seamless.
With WD Drive Utilities, users can run diagnostics to determine any issues that may be happening with the drive. The Run Drive Status Check option checks for potential drive failures while the Quick Drive and Complete Drive Tests checks for major performance issues and performs a full media scan to detect bad sectors, respectively.
