Hi everyone
I just bought a new WD My Passport hard drive 1tb
But I didn’t realize the compatibility is only for Windows
Is there any easy way to write the NTFS driver on my macOS?

Hi pjhung,

My Passport drive formatted with NTFS, will mount as a Read Only file system when connected to a macOS computer. To use the drive on macOS and for Time Machine backups, required to format the drive in HSF+ file format. While if you want to use drive on macOS and Windows OS both, format the drive in exFAT file format. You may have a look on below article for more details about this:
