WD Elements Hard Drive: How To Install on Mac OS (Full Setup)

[@emilystrong9004]

This was exactly what I needed. I purchased an additional hard drive after switching from PC to Mac, and was told I had to purchase a software called NTFS for Mac... well, I did, and found this video after searching how to use my hard drive after installing it. Spoiler alert, you DON'T have to purchase that software. I should have UA-camd and found this video first - it would have saved me money! Thank you so much!

[@ChloeSwiftStylist]

just what I needed! couldn't find this simple explanation anywhere else thank you!

[@andrewnjohnstone]

The instruction was clear, nicely paced and comprehensive - and there was no necessary detail or digression - it got to the point quickly. Some could learn from this. Thanks!

[@itsdianaimani]

This is PERFECT! I couldn't find this information ANYWHERE! Im am excited for everything that will be coming to my channel soon SIMPLY because I was I able to get this figured out! THANK YOU!!!!

[@morpheusthyrux]

[@athulremesh128]

[@port46]

Geeze, this was so much better and faster than all the articles I was sifting through. Thanks!

[@TiskTisk010]

Please do more review. It's very simple and to the point. I don't know why some people complicate things when it should done this way..
Well done.

[@anastasiakraft862]

Thank you for this tutorial! It all seemed so complicated before I watched your video

[@Can_kaya]

Omg! Thanks! Lost an hour of life to find out. First it refused to erase, but then it went ok. I have exactly the same WD

[@mohammedchang]

Simple and visually clear instructions. Thanks a ton!

[@arvincarson855]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was going out of my mind trying to set it up on Mac.

[@IvanSherman-j3q]

[@vikash-e1c]

Simple and straightforward. Great Job

[@melmellie]

Perfect!!! I almost returned it before watching your video!

[@anantagaura]

I unsuccessfully erased my one (brand new WD 4TB) and now it says "not mounted" and I can't do anything about it. Tried few videos, nothing works. Man, I hate computers so much. Such a simple thing turns out into a nightmare.

[@otina3542]

Hey I had the same issue and it was because I had downloaded the WB app that was on the drive itself. I uninstalled it and tried again and it worked

[@anantagaura]

@@otina3542I believe that was my route at the end as well, all good now. Thanks for replying though 😊

[@richardsvictoria]

I keep having the same issue, I never downloaded the WD app but it says erasing WD elements failed and couldn’t open device

[@AttikusEbenhack]

Thank You! I couldn't figure this out until this video so I really appreciate it!

[@RamonaIrgolic]

Thanks for the super easy external disk set up! Very helpful!

[@katerowntreertliteracy3536]

Hi there. Thanks for your directions. However, when I followed your steps, and clicked the 'erase' button, it came up with a failure notice. Any tips?

[@Dr.SalvatoreVinciguerra]

I have had mine since 2021 and now it Is giving me issues. It is very slow even after updating the drivers. I don't think that WD has the latest version of the drivers on their website. If you have any solutions, please let me know. Thank you!
