A:Answer Yes, you can use the same WD My Passport drive interchangeably between a PC and a Mac. However, to ensure compatibility, you'll need to format the drive in a file system that both operating systems can read and write to. One common choice is the exFAT format, which is supported by both Windows and macOS. Here's a quick guide:
Backup Your Data: Before formatting, make sure to back up any important data on the drive.
Format the Drive to exFAT:
On Windows: Right-click the drive in File Explorer, select "Format," choose "exFAT" under File System, and click "Start."
On Mac: Open Disk Utility, select the drive, click "Erase," choose "exFAT" under Format, and click "Erase."
Transfer Files: Once formatted to exFAT, you can copy files from your PC to the drive and then read and write them on your Mac, and vice versa.
With exFAT, you can easily share and transfer files between your PC and Mac without any issues.
