External drive in read only mode

[Pmartel]

Hi everyonne;

I moved 6 monhs ago and while moving I brought my external HDDs to my new place.

My one drive works fine which is a Segate One Touch 5 TB, but my other drive is a Seagate 5tb bck up plus drive whcih went into read only mode and can't get it out of that.

I am using a Max Mini M1 with Ventura OS.

How do I get it out of read only mode, thanks for you help in advance

Is that external drive formatted as NTFS?
I saw your thread from 3 years ago, when you were trying to get Paragon NTFS drivers to work on your external Seagate drives
Maybe that is an issue again?
