Asked 5 years ago by Prateek.
- Answer Hi Prateek, The WD My Passport Ultra drive is a plug and play device which comes preformatted in NTFS file system for Windows computer. It is best your WD My Passport Ultra 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.

Questiondoes this work with an iphone 11 and a Lenovo S340
Asked 2 years ago by jerry.
- Answer I use it on win 10 but it will not work on Win 11. Both are desktop machines. I don't know if it will work on any phone. When using it I am unable to delete any file. Don't know if it is the drive or my machine. Not real happy with it, but I use it for storage only so it works ok I guess.
