If you are using your portable drive on both Windows and Mac OSX I personally recommend ExFAT. I believe it's slightly slower than NTFS but not by a lot and it also accepts huge files if you intend on back up bigger files than 4gb. ExFAT will read files larger than 4gb.
if you are using the drive for file transfers and storage, exFAT is just fine. But if you are using it for sample libraries (think KOMPLETE 14) or video production, it's usually better to have two drives - one for each platform, formatted in the native format (NTFS for Windows, APFS for Mac) support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013984897-Storing-Libraries-on-an-External-Drive-for-both-Mac-and-Windows
Hi! Will the new WD My Passport ULTRA for Mac work with my older MacBookPro / OS: 10.14.6 (Mohave)? My older passport for Mac broke & I need a new one. I do need a new MAC laptop as well, just not ready to buy one yet. Thanks for your help!! 🙂
I just bought a MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and I get a msg saying "the disk you attached is not readable by this computer. My mac is working on macOS Monterey 12.3 version. Any help or advice you can offer?
Upgrading to Monterey was the worst decision man my Logic Pro stopped working apple is shit when it comes to new major updates it messes up most of the things
