WD 4TB My Passport for Mac Portable Hard Drive is a portable storage that perfectly complements your on-the-go lifestyle. It is designed to fit in the palm of your hand, there is enough space to store photos, videos, music and documents.

Hello everyone, i’ve bought myself a unit of WD’s MyPassport 1TB yesterday (model: WDBBEP0010BSL-PESN). I realized when i got home that it isn’t the one i intended to buy, one for mac. Must’ve had too much in my mind. Lol I read on top of the box it says it requires reformatting to be able to be used on Mac OS X. How do i go about that?

Please provide me a step by step guide and be very specific and informative. I’m seeing so much different ways they’re confusing me, so i’d rather just ask straight up to be safe than sorry. Plus i do need to transfer data as i’m running out of space in my MBP. Would there be anything wrong with reformatting it to Mac? Just out of curiosity.

One more thing, The guy at the store told me to go over so he could reformat the External to be used on both a PC/Mac for me. While that’s appealing, i read that it can potentially be dangerous and would limit my transfers to 4GB per transfer? Is this correct? Roms for dolphin emulator mac. Cuz I’d rather just get another 1 to use with my Windows PC than to have risks and a limitation. Thanks in advance!
