A:AnswerI'm currently using one of these as a Time Machine backup on my iMac. It comes pre-formatted for Windows, but it's a simple matter to do an Erase in Disk Utility, and then you're good to go...
A:AnswerHi Peezy, Please be informed that the WD My Passport drive is a plug 'n' play device tested and designed for Windows and Mac computers. Please check with your host device vendor support whether the drive will fit and support. To know more about the drive, 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:AnswerSounds like the same problem I was having. The short answer is that manufactures no longer include Win 7. What was confusing to me was one place said yes it is compatible another said no. Quite frankly the print was so tiny I was unable to read the compatibility statement. So read what it says, if you can make it out.
A:AnswerLittle late I know... but.. if you are able to actually SEE the drive, you should be able to Reformat it to be compatible. IF you can see the drive, right click on it. Scroll to Format, set it for NTFS and you SHOULD be good to go. IF that doesn't work, Contact the manufacturer, it's under warranty thru them for at least 2 years.
A:AnswerI have both the Passport and the easy store. They both work the same as far as I know but I am also not a tech savvy person. I have one for my business computer and one for my personal computer. The Geek Squad rep at Bestbuy said they were basically the same.
A:AnswerSince your outside the best buy super quick warranty, contact Western Digital. Your still under their manufacture warranty (assuming you still have it)
A:AnswerGood question. Do you have a lot of issues with "shock" blowing up your electronic devices? If yes, the problem is not with the devices. If no, then I'd say no, you won't have an issue of shock with this device. If this is plugged into your computer via USB port, and shock comes, it will come through your computer, so the problems will be much worse than a $40 external DVD R/W. A surge protector, with your computer plugged into it, should provide the safety ordinarily needed.
A:AnswerProbably not unless there is a way on the PS to format the drive to the PS file system. I wouldn’t bother. If you run into issues WD support is off-shored canned response garbage.
