Based on my research and experience, your Western Digital WDBPCK5000ABK as well as other hard disk drives do not actually require a driver software to work properly on any version of Operating System. You just need to connect the device to the USB port of your computer and you're done.

If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask here at HelpOwl. Experts here are always willing to answer your questions to the best of our knowledge and expertise.
