Wd Hard Drive For Mac



Western Digital Drive Format Utility For 4TB

To format the Western Digital hard drive using the WD Quick Formatter software, proceed with the step-by-step instructions mentioned here.

  • Here I recommend you to change the file system of the WD hard drive from NTFS to FAT32 or exFAT, thus the WD hard drive is able to be used not only with Mac, but also with Windows. And if there is large file beyond 4GB in file size, exFAT file system will be the better choice as FAT32 is with file size limit.
  • Western Digital Dashboard. Software for Mac GoodSync for WD. Install WD Discovery for Mac. WD Drive Utilities for Mac. WD Security for Mac. Product Firmware.

Alternatively, press the Command + Spacebar shortcut keys to open the Spotlight. Type “disk utility” in the search panel and hit the Enter key to open the Disk Utility window.
