Depending on the formatting, the WD My Passport can also be used on the Mac.
I use TimeMachine for backup there. Can I also use the HW encryption there? Or is that only possible with WD SW?

Answer

Hello Bgrunder

If this HD is formatted for a Mac, the pre-installed WD software can no longer be used. However, there is a Mac version of this hard disk.

[WD My Passport for Mac (4000GB)](https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/wd-my-passport-for-mac-4000gb-externe-festplatte-7526614)

This also contains the corresponding software for the Mac.
