I did this b/c i was considering the need to share this drive b/t both mac and windows environments.
But I never had any problems other than the warnings.īut now i have been using a 2TB passport ultra that i formatted for ExFat. The next time I plugged it in, the drive would mount fine even though there might be a warning that prior disconnect was not proper. And while the computer would raise the warning 'external device not ejected properly', i never had a problem. I have been using many WD passports for years and years, with various capacities and various formats NTFS, FAT32 and MacOS Extended, and have occasionally disconnected them from a macbook without properly ejecting them (brain farts).
