1. Open Terminal app ( in Applications > Utilities )
- Seagate ntfs driver for mac probably works for seagate drives only, not helpful in my case paid. Never bought a samsung for disks with only ntfs. Paragon ntfs for mac os x 10 for seagate drives, specially designed for mac and dual boot users, is compatible with any seagate disks and is available for download free of charge starting thanksgiving.
- From the feedback of many Mac users, one of the problems that we may meet is that Seagate NTFS hard drive is read-only on Mac. I am planning on buying the full version of Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. I am currently using the Seagate version which only allows to read and write from recognized Seagate NTFS drives.
Software Downloads. Browse and download the latest software, apps, utilities, plug-ins and content. Warranty & Replacements. Seagate - NTFS Paragon Driver for Mac. Some Seagate drives come pre-formatted as NTFS. Macs can read NTFS drives as standard but as standard cannot write to NTFS drives. To 'solve' this Seagate has in the past done a deal with Paragon to include a 'free' copy of Paragon's NTFS software which lets Macs also write to NTFS disks. I am using 1TB seagate external hard drive on MacBook Air running Yosemite. I have used many NTFS softwares such as Paragon, Tuxera and I could not acces my drive properly and I did damage it lot. Which is the best software for Mac for reading/writing NTFS drives on Mac without damaging them?
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
3: Apple_Boot Recovery HD 650.0 MB disk0s3

Free Ntfs Driver For Mac
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 ).

- This video will show you how to install the Paragon driver for Mac OS X. Giving you full read write access to an NTFS formatted drive on a Mac computer.
- Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary Windows file systems. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive formatted under Windows, you need Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Write, edit, copy, move and delete files on Microsoft NTFS volumes from your Mac.
- I guess it is related to the Seagate's driver software for supporting NTFS on mac. OS X supports NTFS natively but for read-only. The provided driver installation allows read-write access, but it is seamingly outdated. I just got the latest one from Seagate site, but it is still not new enough. The Info says supporting up to Mavericks only.
- Paragon NTFS for Mac works well in mounting NTFS volumes in read-write mode most of the time. Like most NTFS for Mac products, you only need to download, install, and connect NTFS formatted disks to your Mac to make it effective. It's a commercial NTFS driver but you can try free for tens days.
