Hi @leonardtangty,
Please refer to the article How to Partition and Format a Drive on Windows or macOS:

Well, most external hard drives are designed to work for Windows computers. Windows was mainly optimized for NTFS (New Technology file system) format, on the other hand, APFS was created for the Mac OS. NTFS is not compatible with Mac and similarly APFS does not get along with Windows. So if you’re trying to connect an external hard drive to a Mac, you might have to format the drive before you can use it.
Further, I suggest you to check the below link that explains all the methods to format your external drive for mac without any data loss:
Hope it helps!
I have been in the market for an external drive for a long time. Couldn’t find the thread in the entire forum.
Can anyone suggest me the best possible product for my storage purpose? I am looking for any product above 2TB in size.
My intention is to store as many pics and videos as possible. I am a professional photographer who clicks randomly, so you may assume the number of pictures I would be taking. Even after filtering, there will be thousands of pics that I deemed worthy of storing as memory. So down the line, I might get a chance to relive those trips and moments I had.
I work as a talented developer in the mobile app development services domain for a top app development company. When I decide to take a break, usually I go on a trip. Sometimes it will be a solo trip, or a couple voyage. I used many brand’s harddisk for the storage purpose. Now I am looking for an ultimate solution. I do have a budget of INR 15K, so can anyone suggest the best option.
