Open "Applications"2. Open "Utilities"3. Open "Disk Utility"4. Select the HD you want to format on the left5. Click on the Erase tab6. Under "Format:" choose "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)"7. Name the harddrive to whatever you want8. Click "Erase..."DONE! **Q: Is this the same as the WD Elements Portable Hard Drive** A: Reading the warranty info for all WD drives, I discover that the Passport Ultra carries a 3-year warranty while the WD Elements only rates 1 year of warranty. The WD My Book drives only get 2 years. The PP Ultra looks like the best deal to me even though it is a few more bucks than the Elements. ## Frequently Bought Together - (Old Model) WD My Passport Ultra 1 TB Portable External USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Auto Backup, Black - WD 1TB My Passport, Portable External Hard Drive, Black, backup software with defense against ransomware, and password protection, USB 3.1/USB 3.0 compatible - WDBYVG0010BBK-WESN - Amazon Basics External Hard Drive Portable Carrying Case, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/196595290-wd-old-model-my-passport-ultra-1-tb-portable-external](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/196595290-wd-old-model-my-passport-ultra-1-tb-portable-external) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
