The 2TB model sits at $126.99 right now, which is $8 under what it has averaged over the last 30 days. While the 90-day average of $110.82 and 180-day average of $98.99 show that this drive has been cheaper in the past, the current price still offers modest savings versus recent weeks.

What You're Getting

• USB-C and USB 3.1 compatible for broad device support
• Refined metal cover design in blue
• Password protection with 256-bit AES hardware encryption
• Formatted for Windows out of the box
• 3-year manufacturer's limited warranty

The hardware encryption is the standout feature here - most portable drives in this price range skip it. That makes the My Passport Ultra a better fit if you carry sensitive files and want protection beyond a software password.

Who This Is For

Best for anyone who needs a reliable backup drive with built-in security. Students, remote workers, and small business owners who shuttle files between devices will get the most out of the USB-C compatibility and encryption.

If you just need bulk media storage with no security requirements, cheaper drives exist.

Final Verdict

The $8 discount off the 30-day average is modest, but the hardware encryption and USB-C support make this a smart pick if security matters. For general backup at a lower price, wait for the 180-day average to return.
