Hi Terry, Yes that is correct unless you use a tool that allows for writing to the NTFS format.
Although I'm questioning it now as I have a funny feeling that with Mojave this might not be an issue any longer. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Terri Stimmel Sent: Tuesday, 22 January 2019 11:02 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Questions regarding hard drives Hello everyone, I've asked this before. So I do apologize for needing to ask again. But unfortunately I get confused about this, and can't seem to keep it straight in my head. Now I have 2 external hard drives. They are currently connected to my windows laptop. I know for sure that the main 1 I use, is using the file type, NTFS. So I am pretty sure the other 1 is as well. Am I to understand correctly, that if I connect these drives to my Mac laptop, that I can read the contents of the drives, but that I can't write to them? Or is this the other way around? Or wrong altogether? Any help is much appreciated. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
