Formatting your Easy Store hard drive to MAC

Hi Everyone,
I just bought the easy store 1TB hard drive and I am trying to format is to my MAC. It’s saying I need to reformat it to HFS+ but I’m not sure how to do that!
Please help,
Thanks!

Hey @jshepley,

The Mac OSX use HFS+J file format, but this drive comes in a pre formatted version of NTFS which is readable and writable on Windows OS.

There are several ways to reformat the drive, but the easiest would be using WD Drive utilities.
Click Here for the instructions to Download the software and reformat the drive using WD Drive Utilities.
