Got a WD MyPassport Ultra that I would like to make backups of a windows and Mac machine. The HD comes with NTFS drivers to allow write/read on Mac as well.

Is it a stupid idea to use the NTFS drivers on mac? Is there a risk of data corruption? I don’t want to format to ExFAT as not journaled. Or bigger picture, should I stick to two independend hdd for my backups (didn’t like this option at start due to cost constraints)?
