Which USB spec does this drive use? Newegg spec says USB 3.0, while the WD website says USB 3.2 Gen 1. Part numbers are the same on both sites.

It will work with USB 3.0. The difference is in speed and cabling.

What is the packaging like for the EXTHD 12T|WD WDBBGB0120HBK-NESN R hard drive?

The packaging for the WD My Book 12TB Desktop External Hard Drive includes the desktop hard drive, a SuperSpeed USB-A cable (5Gbps), an AC adapter, software for device management and backup with password protection, and a quick install guide.

Can I use this drive on a Mac using bootcamp assistant to run windows?

The WD My Book 12TB Desktop External Hard Drive is compatible with both Windows and Mac as it is formatted exFAT for out-of-the-box compatibility with these systems. However, it may require reformatting for other operating systems. Compatibility may vary depending on the user's hardware configuration and operating system.
