HomeAppleHow to Format an External Hard Drive for Mac
Pretty much all functions that modern computer devices can perform are either
easy to understand and access or are done by the device automatically. Most, but
not all, formatting drives being one that you have to do manually, Mac computers
included.
A lot of people would gladly avoid such chores entirely instead of having to
look up every term and action, many of these people being Mac users, who use
Apple's operating system for that exact reason – you don't need as much tech
knowledge as you do with managing a PC system. This is why we have compiled a
short guide to formatting your hard drive and explaining what it means
altogether.


WHAT IS FORMATTING AND WHY YOU NEED TO DO IT?

Formatting is a process used to “tell” the hard drive the correct orders and
logic paths to work with a certain operating system to ensure that the data you
want to put on the hard drive will be accessible and recognizable by said OS.
The reasoning behind this is that different operating systems use different
protocols to save information on drives, for example, a Mac won't recognize a
hard drive that has been formatted for Windows usage and vice versa. In short,
you need formatting to prepare the drive for working with a Mac system.
Note that formatting a drive or a partition of the drive (discussed further)
will delete all data that the drive or partition holds, so make sure you don't
have any files that you might need on your external hard drive. In short, you
need formatting to prepare the drive for working with a Mac system.

PARTITIONS

We mentioned partitions earlier, but what are they? A partition is, in Layman's
terms, a “section” of a hard drive, kind of like a chapter in a book, except
different partitions on the same drive have nothing to do with each other. This
separation is the whole point of having partitions on a drive since you can save
a Mac OS on one partition, a Windows OS on another one and have a third one for
files such as music and images, which allows you to use the drive with different
systems.It's basically like splitting the drive into different pieces for
different uses, just have those parts contained in one handy device.

FORMAT EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE – MAC


The default tool for formatting hard drives for a Mac is Disk Utility, which can
be opened by typing “Disk Utility” in the Spotlight search bar in the top-right
corner of your desktop or by locating it under Applications/Utility.
After you've opened the utility from the search list, you should see a window
with a list of storage devices on the left. Choose your external hard drive on
this list which will let you perform different actions with it (do NOT
accidentally format the main internal drive).
To format your drive, press Erase (as discussed before, formatting clears your
drive of all data to prepare it for work), which will open a smaller window. In
this window, you can enter the name of the drive (how it will show up on your
desktop), choose the format and scheme.
The scheme, which is the method by which the hard drive determines its
partitions etc., should be set to GUID Partition Map:
 * GUID Partition Map is what the industry is moving toward in regards to
   compatibility.
 * Master Boot Record scheme is used for compatibility with other PCs but is
   slowly being replaced by GUID
 * Apple Partition Map is used by Mac computers that are closer to relic than
   useful computers nowadays.

For format external hard drive (Mac), which determines how any future files on
the drive or partition will be treated, you should probably go for OSX Extended
(Journaled):
 * OSX Extended (Journaled) will encrypt all data on the drive, making it more
   secure and accessible only via a password.
 * MAC OS Extended(Case-Sensitive, Journaled) is used to save multiple files
   with the same name, for example, Pic.jpg and pic.jpg would be two different
   files (a very niche option).
 * MS-DOS FAT will be optimum for a drive that would be used with PCs and Macs
   alike since this format is the most compatible.
 * ExFAT is also a very compatible option, however, this one is fit more for
   flash drives.

After naming your drive and picking the format and scheme, press the “Erase”
button and the formatting process will start. When the formatting process
finishes, your drive should show up on your desktop, but if it doesn't, go to
Finder/Preferences and make sure that external drives are marked to be shown on
your desktop. After this, you should be good to go!

So, you just bought an external hard drive or a portable SSD and wanted to use
it on your Mac. But somehow, macOS doesn’t allow you to write data to the drive.
When a recipe requires one of these liquids, barrels may be used, though other
alternatives exist (like the Bucket of Water, which may be refilled after
use).Tools may also be re-used indefinitely, such as the Repair Hammer, Shiv

Also, it doesn't matter whether you use a barrel of water or a bucket, in most
cases (obviously they are intended to be interchangeable). A few specifics, as
well as tips on figuring out different recipes (will add a few later once I'm at
a decent PC): Stick + Sharp Rock = Makeshift Axe Poison/Oil/Water Barrel +

Arrowhead + Poison = Poison Arrowhead etc.) Intestines + Water = Water Balloon

That’s all because it’s been initialized with Windows NT File System (NTFS),
which is primarily for PCs. Apple Mac machines support a different file system.
In this post, I’m going to show you how to format your external drive for a Mac
compatible file system i.e. Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Just follow this easy
step-by-step guide and you’re all set.
Important note: If you have useful files stored on the external drive, be sure
to copy or transfer them to another safe place prior to formatting. The
operation will erase all data and your files will be gone for good. You could
use a recovery program like Data Rescue to retrieve them, but the odds of
recovery vary.
Pro tip: If your external drive has a large volume, like mine – a 2TB Seagate
Expansion. I highly recommend you also create multiple partitions. I’ll also
show you how to do that below.


MOST EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES ARE INITIATED WITH NTFS

During the last several years, I’ve used several removable drives, including a
500GB WD My Passport, 32GB Lexar flash drive, and a few others.
Three weeks ago, I bought a brand new 2TB Seagate Expansion to backup my MacBook
Pro before I updated to the latest macOS, 10.13 High Sierra (also see those High
Sierra issues I encountered).
When I connected the Seagate to my Mac, the drive icon showed up like this.
When I opened it, the default content was all there. Since I wanted to use it on
Mac, I clicked the blue logo with the text “Start_Here-Mac”.
It brought me to a webpage on Seagate’s site, where it clearly indicated the
drive was initially set up to work with a Windows PC. If I wanted to use it with
Mac OS or Time Machine backup (which is my intent), I’ll need to format the
drive for my Mac.
I then right-clicked the external drive icon on Mac desktop > Get Info. It
showed this format:
Format: Windows NT File System (NTFS)
What is NTFS? I’m not going to explain here; you can read more on Wikipedia. The
problem is that on macOS, you can’t work with files saved on an NTFS drive
unless you use a paid app Paragon NTFS for Mac.


HOW TO FORMAT AN EXTERNAL DRIVE TO WORK WITH MAC (FROM NTFS TO MAC OS EXTENDED)?

Note: The tutorial and screenshots below are based on macOS Sierra 10.12.5. They
might be different if your Mac has a different version.
Step 1: Open Disk Utility.
The quickest way to do this is a simple Spotlight search (click the search icon
on the upper right corner), or go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Step 2: Highlight your external drive and click “Erase”.
Make sure your drive is connected. It should show up on the left panel under
“External”. Select that disk and click the “Erase” button, the one highlighted
in red in the screenshot below.
Step 3: Select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” in Format.
A new window will pop up asking which file system you’d like to format the
external drive to. By default, it’s the Windows NT File System (NTFS). Select
the one shown below.
Pro tip: If you want to use the external drive for both Mac and PC, you can also
select “ExFAT”. Learn more about the differences between these file systems from
this thread.
By the way, you can also rename your external drive.
Step 4: Wait until the erasing process is complete.
For me, it took less than a minute to format my 2TB Seagate Expansion. Contoh

You can also check to see if the format was successful. Right-click on the icon
for your external drive on Mac desktop, then select “Get Info”. Under “Format”,
you should see text like this:
Congratulations! Now your external drive has been formatted to be fully
compatible with Apple MacOS, and you can edit, read, and write files to it as
you want.

HOW TO PARTITION AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE ON MAC

If you want to create multiple partitions on your external hard drive (in fact,
you should for better file organization), here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Highlight your drive and click “Partition” in Disk Utility.
Open the Disk Utility app and highlight your external hard drive. Make sure you
select the disk icon right under “External”. If you select the one below it, the
Partition option will be greyed out and become unclickable.
Step 2: Add partitions and allocate volume for each one.
After clicking “Partition”, you’ll see this window. Located on the left is a big
blue circle with the name of your external drive together with its volume size.
What you need to do next is click the add “+” button to increase the number of
partitions on your external disk. Then allocate the desired volume to each
partition. You can do that by clicking the small white circle and dragging it
around.
After that, you can rename each partition and define a file system for it.
Step 3: Confirm your operation.

Once you hit “Apply”, a new window pops up asking for your confirmation. Take a
few seconds to read the text description to make sure it reflects what you
intend to do, then click the “Partition” button to continue.
Step 4: Wait until it says “Operation successful.”

To check whether the operation is really successful, go to your Mac desktop. You
should see multiple disk icons show up. I chose to create two partitions on my
Seagate Expansion — one for backup, the other for personal use. You can find
more info in this post: How to Backup Mac to an External Hard Drive.
That wraps up this tutorial article. I hope you find it helpful. As always, let
me know if you have any issues during the formatting or partitioning process.
