If I reformat to HFS+J will this still work? It woul seem that the drive looks like NAS and just streams the video file to any DLNA device regardless of the format. I will be using the My Passport Wireless as a DLNA server to my TV over wifi. In ofher words does the My Passport Wireless act like a NAS drive over wifi, and as attached storage over USB. Drag and drop all selected files into the trash icon.
Step 2: Select the files that you want to delete from the drive. Navigate to Finder and locate the hard drive icon. But if I format the drive using HFS+J can w Windows PC read and write over wifi? Step 1: Connect the WD My Passport hard drive to your Mac PC and wait for it to be recognized. If I reformat to HFS+J then I can do a full test of the drive, but does it affect the practical use? It would seem the main reason for using exFAT is that Windows and Mac can read and wriet to the drive over USB. I only use Mac so that is not so important. So there seems no way with WD tools to test an exFAT formatted drive.ĭoes anyone know a way to do a full check of a exFAT formatted drive on a Mac?ĭiskWarrior recognizes the drive and identifies the format, but only works on HFS. I looks like the WD Disk Utilities for Mac do not support exFAT. The My Passport Wireless was directly connected to my Mac using USB.
