Will "my Passport for mac" work with OS X 10.4?

Yes, I just set up a brand-new 500GB Passport with my venerable Mac iBook G4 running 10.4.11.

I called WD tech support suggested I just format and partition the disk with the Apple  Disk Utility. It worked like a champ, but of course also removed the WD programs and files that were shipped with the disk. I didn’t need those, anyway.
