#FORMAT SEAGATE BACKUP PLUS FOR MAC FULL#

This seagate external hard drive specifically this ‘Backup Plus Portable’ series is highly unreliable with a very high chance of failure. Therefore, i leave it up to you, guys! and its your call for going for this new edition of Seagate. This is not user friendly but you have to format it to NTFS to make it as user friendly. exFAT is not a journaled file system which means it can be more susceptible to data corruption when errors occur or the drive is not disconnected properly from the computer'' 'exFAT: generally compatible with Mac and Windows. And also i read the file system formats in Seagate website, especially about ''exFAT'' file system, kindly see below: Of course, ''exFAT'' is advance file system of FAT32.

Yes, you can go for quick format but full format identifies bad sectors and it literally completes formatting procedure. Because full formatting takes hours and it just painful and consumes time. So, as of now, its better to go for older model than new one. So, i have to format to NTFS and now, transfer speed is good. But this ''exFAT'' has biggest problem with transfer speed.

Usually, most of the drive will be in NTFS which is quite user friendly. I liked the design but the problem is its in ''exFAT'' system format. A few days ago, when i saw this new model edition and i thought of giving it try. I really love seagate external hard drives.
