My Seagate OneTouch SSD 2TB just stopped working (I've been using it with Time Machine for the last 2.5 years) and whenever I plug it into my mac, the whole finder app stops responding. Nothing in disk utility appears, either. Immediately as soon as I unplug it, everything goes back to normal...

Hi everyone... I bought a Seagate IronWolf HD on eBay two years ago. The seller said it was new, unopened. It was factory sealed. I decided to sell it last month. The buyer said it had over 1700 hours on it. I refunded his money. He sent it back. I tested it. It was unformatted! I had to...

Hi guys, For the last few years I enjoyed using the (free) Paragon NTFS For Mac software in combination with my Seagate external HDD. I am forced to use the HDD - which includes my movies - in this format because my LG OLED TV only supports NTFS (and not exFAT for example). Since updating to a...

I have tried 3 times to erase and encrypt a new Seagate 5tb external hard drive using Disk Utlity on Catalina. Used OS Extended (Journaled, Encryted), set passord hint. Then after I unplug and plug the drive back in, the passwrod hint does not show. Tried with my other Macbook on Mojave and...

My Seagate Backup Plus Portable Drive stopped working. It was in storage for two years. I pulled out to work with an old iPhoto library. I left it plugged into my computer for a few days. Slowly it stopped working. It started taking longer and longer to do things. Then it started crashing my...

Hi! I'd like to check compatability of 6Tb Seagate Barracuda Compute 3.5" Internal HDD 5400RPM drives with Mac Pro 5,1 on Mojave 10.14.6. These are standard edition NOT Pro edition. Does anyone have experience of these drives used internally via SATA connection in 2009 Mac Pro 5,1...

Both identical drives that display they each have 500gb space available totalling 1tb. However, the whole drive is 2tb so 1tb is just 'missing' and this one drive is separated into two drives. I need to use this drive to back up my mac.

Because I'm a bit neurotic in general, which leads me to over-research and over-think stuff sometimes, my head is spinning a bit trying to decide which external hard drive to purchase for my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 15 inch. This will be my first external hard drive. Anyhow, after reading numerous...

7 years ago... I bought this 3TB Seagate GoFlex Desk USB 2.0 external drive (wall powered), which I didn't use at all in the last 5 years, until now. Last week I pulled it out and had to transfer about 500GB of data (4K UHD movies mostly) to this, from my 13" 2017 MBP TB. Took me 3 hours...

I picked up a couple Seagate 8TB Backup Plus Hubs for Mac at a compelling price during a holiday sale, as I needed a new TM drive for my High Sierra Mac Pro and one for my new Macbook Pro. I'm just now setting it up and my initial impression upon unboxing is positive. I really like the small...

iMac, running High Sierra. I had a Seagate backup drive, 3 terabytes, it had a bunch of old archived images and movie projects I was working it over the years. Somehow, the damn drive is wiped clean, except for the Seagate software that I had deleted in the beginning, and that's all. No sign of...

I started a conversion to APFS for my time machine backup, an external Seagate Backup Plus, about 45 minutes ago. It's still stuck on the last step, "reporting pre-conversion statistics." I know converting an SSD should only take a minute or two, but I wasn't sure about normal HD's. How...

Hi all, I've recently inherited an iPod classic with thousands of songs on it, and to make sure I didn't lose it's contents, I've moved all the hidden audio files onto my Seagate 1TB drive. I'd rather not have all the hidden files on my mac be showing, so I've looked towards the 'chflags...

Hi, I wish to add an external SSD via the thunderbolt port as i have only USB 2.0 and not 3.0 and the speed on USB 2.0 sux. I would love an adaptor and see very cheap ones ($10 USD) on amazon from USBC to SATA ( these are for the new MacBook Pros recently announced ) but is there a cheap...

Hi everyone, So a few days ago bought a 2011 27in IMac I7 2600 off a buddy of mine that his work threw out. I installed OS Sierra and it works fine as if nothing is wrong. Disk Utility reports no issues (never trusted Disk Utility) so I downloaded DriveDX and it reported that over 90...

Hey guys and gals, So I installed PB4 of Sierra this morning (Macbook Air 2012) but now I can't get one of my external hard drives to work. When I connect my Seagate 500GB Slim (which I use for TM backups), Sierra recognises it no problem. However, when I connect my Seagate 2TB Backup Plus...

Based on my past threads, for the past month or so, I've been working on purchasing the 'right' iMac. Well, I'm finished! - iMac Late 2015 2TB, i5, with 16GB ram - Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB drive (USB 3.0) for backups - MX Wavemaster Logitech mouse (this thing is BRILLIANT, and can be...

So I have a 1TB external hard drive from Seagate. It has always worked great with my macbook air, but for the past few months it has been harder to connect it (Had to plug it in a few times before it connected, sometimes I had to restart the computer a few times before it would work). The last...

Hi guys - I don't know what happened but I can't mount my external HD anymore (it has external power source, so it's not that, plus it turns on). This is what Disk Utility Shows: I noticed the Owners: Disabled. And this is what I see if I run diskutil from terminal to get info: This...

Hi all, I own a mac pro 3.1 running OS X 10.11.3 with 4 drive bays and already am using a Seagate ST3000DM001-1CH166 in one of the bays without any problems at all. Last week i bought two new drives which are basically the same drive and 3tb capacity but they have a slightly different part...
