We installed the Paragon driver and it does exactly what it says it does and provided write access to the drive. But be aware that the software provided by Seagate will only work with a Seagate drive. Seagate also provides a Paragon driver for Windows users that need to read and write from a Mac formatted hard drive to a Windows PC. I am looking to purchase a Seagate External Hard Drive for my MacBook Air. The products claims it works only with PC (windows), however, I have read multiple places that I can just format the drive and it will work fine with a mac. 1) Is this a correct statement. I assume it is but I am new to OSX and like to check. Seagate hard drives will not mount to mac anymore. Technician's Assistant: What Operating System (OS) are you running on your Mac? Technician's Assistant: What have you tried so far with your Mac? Can you play minecraft windows 10 edition on mac. Installing legacy, data recovery doesn't recognise the large seagate but does the small however, the small one isn't readable. A computer (Mac or Windows) won't format a blank drive or reformat an already formatted drive without first prompting the user (unless there's some data-destroying malware at work or something). To verify the filesystem, plug it into the Mac and control-click on the drive's desktop icon, and select 'get info.'

Does Seagate Work With Mac Desktop
Seagate Mac To Pc Driver
I have a G4 running 10.5.8. I want to know if it is possible to use a Seagate 1 Terabyte external drive with a Macintosh?
Stopped in Staples today and saw a good deal on a 1 TB drive, so I picked it up with the understanding I can return it.
I have no past experience buying external drives. So I am looking for help.
The drive has very little info on it, its only marked as a Seagate Expansion external drive. It uses a USB 2.0 for connection. Very little additional info. No mention of mac on the box or paperwork, the paperwork is very brief which is not very helpful.
Hoping for some insight before hooking this up? Will it work and anything I have to do other than just plug and play?
My quess is I will have to reformat? Any and all advice appreciated.
