But this pattern of having no problems with accidental disconnect of other drives, and 2 near death experience with the ExFat makes me wonder if the ExFat is somehow more vulnerable than other formats. Fortunately, running repair a second time worked (both times), and my drive is still ok. In fact both times the disk utility's first attempt to repair failed and the disk utility told me the drive was not repairable (which caused me much anxiety). In the few months that I have used this drive, I accidentally disconnected it 2 times and BOTH times, the next mount failed (unlike my prior WD drives which had no problems remounting) and I had to use Disk Utility to repair the disk.
So this is the first drive i used ExFat for.
#FORMAT WD ELEMENTS FOR MAC EXFAT SCHEME WINDOWS#
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).
