Q: HELP - External Hard Drive (WD My Passport)
I have a 'WD My Passport Ultra' connected to my iMac set up as a Time Machine that automatically backs up. However, recently I've been getting messages on the iMac that my hard drive was getting full so I bought a 'WD My Passport for Mac' to use as an external hard drive. It's a 'plug and play' drive, so I just connected it to the iMac and hoped I would be able to drag and drop photos etc from my hard drive to free up some space. However, the 'WD My Passport for Mac' seems to be working as a replica of my hard drive and is automatically copying what's on the hard drive (e.g. if I add or delete a file one the hard drive or WD Passport it does the same thing on the other). I've contacted WD customer support but they say there's nothing on the WD Passport that would do that and it must be a software issue with the iMac.
Can anyone help?
