Can this be used to backup multiple PC computers, or do I need a separate drive for each machine? I have 2 PCs I want to backup.
The WD 2TB My Passport USB 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive can be partitioned to make complete system backups for multiple machines, but it might be cumbersome to manage storage capacity that way. This drive would be great though to back up important files from multiple computers.

The description states that it is "mac compatible with reformatting." Will it work with my late 2015 i-mac using Sierra OS 10.12.6?
I know that MacOS can read NTFS drives, but not sure you'd be able to write. Your best bet would be to format as ExFat which is read/write for both Windows and Mac for copying files back and forth. You would need to format as HFS+ to use as a Time Machine backup drive.

Does the password protection and encryption work when formatted for an iMac?
No. You loose the pre-installed WD software if you format it yourself. Had the same situation myself.
