This morning I found at Seagate.com a link for the Samsung drive NTFS for mac (Paragon app downloaded as NTFSforMac14.0.456), which has worked beautifully. The link is in Portuguese but you can Google Translator it to make sure i'm not driving you to any fishing site or whatever and there's probably a version at Seagate US. Paragon Driver for macOS (10.10 and above). Seagate Dashboard - Paragon Driver for Windows Seagate - NTFS Paragon Driver for Mac to the Dashboard 4. The following table lists which Seagate software applications are compatible with macOS 10.15. If software isn’t listed below, then it is not supported on macOS 10.15. This driver provides write access for Seagate external drives in Mac OS without having to reformat. Supported on Intel based Mac's only. Paragon Driver for macOS (10.10 to 10.15). Though there are free NTFS drivers for Mac, the free version carries the slow speed to write to NTFS and there are reported corrupted NTFS cases from the users. As a result, we will take Paragon NTFS for Mac as an example to show you how to write to NTFS. Step 1 Free down Paragon NTFS for Mac. Free download this NTFS driver on your Mac.

> How do I tell if my external drive uses NTFS?

1. Open Terminal app ( in Applications > Utilities )

2. Type in diskutil list and Enter.

3. You will see lines of output something like below. ( This is for my Mac Mini with Internal drive only )

/dev/disk0

#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme *1.0 TB disk0

1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk0s1

2: Apple_HFS Macintosh HD 999.3 GB disk0s2

Seagate Ntfs Driver Mac

3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3

You will get second set of similar following them for (most likely) /dev/disk1, if your mac has an external drive connected.

In the case above, there are three partition. - EFI (for mac boot), Macintosh HD (OS X), and Recovery HD ( for booting in recovery mode ).

The TYPE column tells what is the format of the partition.

• 'Apple_HFS' is for normal boot/data partition for OS X.
• 'Microsoft Basic Data' is NTFS, for Windows data or boot , including BootCamp.

Other possible TYPE can be listed with another Terminal command diskutil listFilesystems.

> I couldn't even read from the drive when I plugged it in.

I can only guess, as I have no detail info about what happened on your Mac at this point.

Probably, the Seagate driver took over OS for NTFS handling, but it fails to process due to necessary software ( part of driver ) did not work properly due to the compatibility with Yosemite.

It may help to identify the problem if you can find error messages in system log, which can be viewed with Console app ( also in Utilities folder ).

The message may come out either at OS boot or on connecting the drive.

Also, visit Seagate site and check if any firmware update is available for your drive ( req. serial number ).

Hey Everyone,

I have a relatively new Seagate Backup Plus 2TB External Drive that I have been moving files to for the last couple of weeks. I am using a 13' MacBook Air (2017) running 10.13.3, and it has been recently updated. I was transferring files when the drive warning came up about removing the drive without properly ejecting it. I unplugged the drive and plugged it back in. The drive showed up in Finder and I tried to open it, but it caused Finder to crash. I unplugged the drive and relaunched Finder and started again.

Unfortunately the drive won't even show up in disk utility (already configured to show all devices). I have tested the drive cable with another drive and everything is fine, the other drive mounts perfectly. I tried to plug in the Seagate again and it just sits and beeps periodically. I have installed the Seagate driver that was recommended and even played with the Paragon software. Nada...

I have to ge this drive running because I was in the process of reorganizing drives and there are files on that drive that I need and haven't backed up yet. Any assistance would be appreciated.
