A:Hi Cosmicwiz,
The WD My Passport external hard drive comes pre-formatted for Windows OS. The hard drive can be reformatted to be used on a Mac OS. If you want to use this hard drive on Windows and Mac OS then the drive needs to be reformatted in ExFAT filesystem. Please refer to the link mentioned below for more information:

A:Hi george, Please be informed that the WD My Passport drive is a plug and play external portable hard drive that comes with a SuperSpeed USB cable. To know more about the drive please refer to the link: http://products.wdc.com/library/AAG/ENG/4078-705155.pdf -Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.
A:I would not recommend it for a Mac user. It requires a special WD driver even after reformatting for a Mac. If reformatting is not done in a specific way, the drive can become unusable. It is not a simple plug and play solution by any stretch of the imagination.
