We could not find current information about whether WD Access Setup has a native Apple Silicon build. Since this is a setup tool typically bundled with Western Digital hardware, the first place to check is your original installation media or Western Digital's support site — look for a newer driver or utility package for your specific WD drive model. Contact Western Digital support directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon version is available for your device. With more than two years remaining before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), there is still time, but it is worth confirming the roadmap soon if you rely on this tool for drive management or cloud integration.
