QuestionI have family genealogy files on both a Mac and a PC that I need to merge together onto one large portable hard drive. Is this possible? What is the best way to do this? Is there a portable drive that can be used for Mac AND a Pc?
Asked 7 years ago by Connie.
- Answer The issue is the file system on the disk, rather than the disk. You need a file system that i compatible with both and that supports the large disk space. This drive comes formatted with NTFS which is good for Windows, but is read only on a native MacOS. I recommend leaving the disk formatted in NTFS and installing an NTFS disk driver for the Mac. I use "Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software" You can buy it on the web, It then makes the disk work like any other Mac native file system on the Mac. It costs $19.95 at https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ I have no affiliation other than being a happy customer.

QuestionHow come my Sony Blue Ray player nor my Samsung TV wont read/recognize the WD - Easystore 4TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive. I used to have a Toshiba hard drive and i never had any problems using it in the blue ray and TV.
Asked 8 years ago by Monchis.
- Answer I am thinking you may need to format the drive or ensure your Blu ray player is compatible with the type of file system (fat32 or ntfs) in use with the Hdd.

Questionwhat are the installation instructions
Asked 7 years ago by Ekho.
- Answer If this is used with a Windows based machine, it is as easy as plugging it into an open USB port on the PC or laptop and the operating system will do the rest. It does come with some handy pre installed software but it isn't necessary to install any of it to use the drive. If this question is for a mac user, there are additional steps required to make the drive usable by the operating system, and these can be found on Western Digital's website, or by doing a general search for "WD 4TB USB 3.0 mac installation". It took about 20 minutes to format the external drive for use in a mac and works just as well as a windows installation.

QuestionWhat is the RPM speed of this? 5400 or 7200?
Asked 8 years ago by CrispySquirrel.
- Answer According to the box and on line it's 5400 but it seems faster then that. It's a great portable memory and very small. Only down side is the power stays on all the time so I have to disconnect it when not in use.

QuestionPassport vs Elements vs Easy Store What are the differences?
Asked 7 years ago by RobLeePhotog.
- Answer In order of quality: My Passport >>> >>> Elements >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> EasyStore. Yes, the EasyStore falls THAT far below the Elements, and the Elements is best avoided if you can afford the My Passport. I'd never touch an EasyStore again unless I want to lose everything on it.
  I would recommend:
