    Reformatted with Exfat and didn't work on a mac. Then, disk repair utility, managed to fix it but it took several attempts. Now seems to work, but I'm not gonna trust it and have secondary backups.

    I've bought many Passport external hard drives. I save in the cloud but I like this option as well. I bought this in a bundle but did not need to spend so much in the end when a smaller hard drive would work as well.

    I think the external hard drive is OK but why didn't WD provide clear instructions on how to set it up with Windows 10? If it is set up to do the backup in the middle of the night the problem is that my computer goes to "sleep" after 30 minutes of inactivity but of course I don't want the back-up to take place while I'm in the middle of working with with my computer.
