Ntfs For Seagate For Mac Software That

The HD came formatted NTFS (not really sure what that entails) and there was a NTFS For Mac software that was included.

From my understanding the software is supposed to help me transfer things from Windows to Mac freely.

BUT I only have Macs, and I doubt Ill ever need a file from anything windows.

With that being said, wouldnt it just be better to ditch the NTFS For Mac software since I wont 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 Ill never use it on windows.

Shouldnt I just reformat the HD to be 100 Mac formatted or is there something Im missing Im pretty good with technology but Im not an expert.

There is no need to keep the drive formatted NTFS for Windows then use a third party app, NTFS for Mac, in order to use the drive.

Seagate ship it formatted as NTFS because that works best for Windows.

They also provide a version of NTFS for Mac to allow the drive to be shared between Windows and Mac.

As you will not be sharing the drive you dont need to worry about this.

Note: I strongly suspect the version of NTFS for Mac included with the drive is out-of-date.

It looks like Seagate may be doing the right thing and offering updates from their website to address this.
