WD has released a seventh generation of their popular My Passport line of external hard drives. The most notable upgrades with this line are an increase in maximum capacity (3TB), customization options, improved backup capabilities, and a line of models designed specifically for use with Mac OS. I just ordered My Passport for Mac (WDBFKF0010BBK). As far as I could tell wandering around google, it should be compatible with Yosemite (my mac won't be able to run a newer OS seeing as it's super old!). However, I receive the harddrive in the mail and on the box it says it's compatible with High Sierra, Sierra and El Capitan.

Wd Passport Mac CompatibilityHi, I just bought WD My passport to use with my MacBook Air 2018 model which runs with macOS Catalina version 10.15.1. I have connected the device to my laptop but started reading posts here that my passport doesn't work with Catalina. The WD My Passport Ultra comes with the software which can be easily installed on your Windows/Mac computer. After connecting the WD My Passport Ultra 2TB setup to the computer, launch the application found inside the drive and follow the on-screen tips to set up the drive.
