Q: Questionwill this work on catalina and back up operating system(4 answers)
A: AnswerYes, it works; however, do not install the included WD software, including the security package. It does not play nice with the Mac and is very frustrating. If you purchase this portable, simply use with Time Machine and you will be satisfied.Answered by Granddad
Q: QuestionCan this drive be used to transfer files from a Gateway laptop with Windows to a new IMac?(1 answer)
A: AnswerHi Winston, Please be informed that the WD My Passport Ultra for Mac drive is a plug and play device tested and designed only for Mac computers for seamless operation. The drive is preformatted in HFS+J format for Mac OS. However, you can reformat the drive in exFAT format to use it on both Windows and Mac Computers. Refer to the link: https://support-en.wd.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20821/kw/format - Need Help? Please see our "'Contact Us" page for information.Answered by Western Digital Team
- A: AnswerYou would have to format it with a FAT file system. The Apple extended file system and the NTFS are proprietary to either Mac OS or Windows. The FAT file system can be read by either operating system.

Whatever your purpose, this will fulfill it!
I use this Hard Drive for storing games on multiple consoles. I have around 100 games and this lil thing holds them all, with plenty more free space left over for any future investments! Perfect size as well, slim and hand sized. I travel for work and it’s very convenient to take it wherever I need. Blends in with my set up, not bulky or stand offish. Highly recommend for gamers or travelers that need a bunch of extra space!
