Hi,

The WD Easystore drive is a plug and play device which comes preformatted in NTFS file system for Windows computer. It is best your WD Easystore to be re-formatted in macOS Extended (Journaled) file format, to be compatible with Time Machine or exFAT to be read/write ready on both Windows and macOS.

Partition it the same way that your Mac is partitioned.
One half Mac, the other Windows.
