Most WD Drives come formatted in the NTFS (Windows) or HFS+ (Mac) format. In order to use a drive that is formatted in either method, on both a Mac and a PC, the drive will need to be reformatted using FAT or FAT32 (DOS) format. You will need to transfer the drive to a windows device & then transfer it to a drive formatted to work with Mac.
I hope this is helpful to you!
