Here at La Clinica de la Manzana, we hear all sorts of questions. The focus of this guide is to answer a common question we receive about external HDD compatibility and also to help you out with converting your portable disks to work for your Mac if you don't want to pay that extra $$$ to buy a new one or the special "Ready for MacOS" external HDD that is identical to the normal external HDDs. ! This process will ERASE all and any data on the HDD you are working with ! TL/DR 1. Open Disk Utility 2. Plug in your new external HDD 3. Select your external HDD, Erase disk, Create a name you like and change Format type to ExFAT. 4. Click Erase and you are good to go.
