Best Answer

A Western Digital Passport for Mac is a hard drive that is pre-formatted with the Mac OS X file system to work with Mac computers only. If you buy a Windows hard drive, it will still work with a mac, but you won't be able to use it's full capacity unless you re-format it with the Mac File system. To do this, go into applications>utilities>disk utility, select the disk, and click on the erase button, and make sure the Mac OS X Extended (journaled) option is selected.
