Seagate Backup Plus 5TB External Hard Drive Portable HDD – Light Blue USB 3.0 for PC Laptop and Mac, 1 year MylioCreate, 2 Months Adobe CC Photography (STHP5000402) 4.6 out of 5 stars 8,517 $114.99 $ 114. There are two ways you can optimize performance: Toolkit Optimize. If you use the drive with only one type of computer, you can optimize file copy performance by formatting the drive in the native file system for your operating system-NTFS for Windows or HFS+ for Macs.
Seagate Backup Plus is preformatted exFAT for compatibility with both Mac and Windows computers. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks Shouldn't I just reformat the HD to be 100% Mac formatted or is there something I'm missing? I'm pretty good with technology but I'm not an expert. With that being said, wouldn't it just be better to ditch the 'NTFS For Mac' software since I won't ever use windows? It seems counterintuitive to keep the HD formatted as a Windows HD where I need a software to use it on my Mac, when in actuality I'll never use it on windows. BUT I only have Macs, and I doubt I'll ever need a file from anything windows. From my understanding the software is supposed to help me transfer things from Windows to Mac freely. The HD came formatted NTFS (not really sure what that entails) and there was a 'NTFS For Mac' software that was included. So I recently purchased a Seagate 4TB External Hard Drive for the sole purpose of backing up my photos/videos/music from my MacBook.
