The Western Digital Passport provides expanded storage space and backup features for Windows-based and Macintosh computers. Format your Passport so the drive is compatible with the backup tools available in Mac OS X and so it can perform the common task of transferring files between the external hard drive and your Mac's internal hard drive. I just built a new PC and my WD 1TB Passport external hard drive shows up fine on my Mac laptop but won't appear on Windows 8.1. It is recognized as a Device, but when I go to File Explorer, I can't see the drive.
