Will this hub work with WD Passport Ultra 2 TB drive?

It should work perfectly, though I haven't tested it with this specific drive

I use the hub with multiple WD external drives which have USB 3 connectors. If the Ultra 2TB drive has a USB 3 connection, then it will work. I checked the Amazon listings for details and the WD _My_ Passport drives (regardless of size) all have USB 3 interfaces. That means they will work with this hub.Note, to take fullest advantage of the USB 3 speed, you will need to plug the hub into an USB 3 port on your computer. Otherwise, the speed will be that of the port.

It should. Hub is a 3.0 and also handles 2.0. Mine is a 1 tb wd. It works great.

A 2 TB WD My passport does Not fit--even though this case is shown as an add-on for the device.

There's something wrong with the size description of the WD 2TB My Passport Studio on the Amazon web page. I have one and it measures roughly5" x 3-3/8" x 1". I'm going to give it a shot. I'll re-post if it doesn't work out.

It should. Since it is powered off the incoming USB port you have to be a little careful. Size of the disk has nothing to do with it. They do have different power requirements. If the disk is self powered, then there is no problem. If the disks are not self powered, while I suspect you will be OK, I would go with a powered hub.

Hi Serguei, I have only 750GB and 1TB WD My Passport, the rugged case fits both of them. I have no idea that it will fit 2TB WD My Passport.

Yes, the enclosure will work with any SATA drive and is backwards compatible with USB 2

Hmm.. not sure.. theoretically it should work but I didn't want to chance it. So I took my separate external 2TB drive and connected it and it works perfectly

It does not work with a Seagate 1.5TB thick portable drive, keeps disconnecting when read/write to it. When connecting a small drive like WD 1TB, 80% of the time will be fine, but it disconnects as well. No matter what power adapter you use! I even tried to use a powered USB hub. It can read and recognize external drives connecting to a USB hub, but it will disconnect from time to time with no apparent reason.

My Mac is USB 2.0 as well and the WD HD is perfectly compatible, no problems encountered.

This is a 36 Watt power supply, so yes, it should work with any of the "My Book Essential" external drives. But, note that this is not an OEM replacement part; it's an aftermarket item. Check the labeling on your drive-if it only needs a 18 Watt power supply, you can get an OEM power supply from the WD online store, if you care. If using an aftermarket power supply doesn't strike fear into your heart, this one should work.

B. Meerdink, neither of the two information you brought are backed by the links you posted.I've been searching the internet for the same info D. Wong wants, I'm about sure there is no document on WD's website that will state which is the internal drive interface of "My Passport Essential" products. This is something only reviewers who have opened their "My Passport Essential" drives can tell us. Do you happen to own one of those? Have you opened it up?? Has anyone out there?

Sorry...don't know. I only have a Synology NAS, so no experience on the external USB HDs

It fits but it is very tight when it closes. There's a chance this is warping the case ever so slightly, which could affect the internal mechanics of the drive. I suspect that's the reason WD doesn't sell these cases any more, namely, they are unsuitable for the newer passport drives.

I'm guessing it would do okay as long as the initial USB port you plug into is USB 3.0. I have 6 usb 2.0 drives and 1 usb 3.0 external drives hooked to my hub. The 3.0 drive just flys, but so does the others.

Rocco, I wish that I knew the answer. I have the same question, as I'm interested in purchasing two, of the WD World Edition 2TB, to daisychain them through the USB. Maybe, somebody will know soon?

Im not sure. But i do not recommend this one. I put so much info on it and one day it just wouldnt work. It woukd spin but no lights or anything on the screen. Had to pay 50$ to get the files off if it. I say spend that extra 50 now and buy a WD passport. Works like a charm.
