Easiest tutorial ever and I was losing my ish! Thank you very much cuz I’m a student and have so many drives and wanted to move to a huge one and you helped me so much!
I thought I was going to have to return my hard drive as soon as I got it because it wouldn't let me add anything to it. Thank you so much it works perfect now!
Thank you so much. It was so step by step easy to understand. I do have a question though - with hard drives failing, is it possible/ or sensible to have a second external drive with time machine also backing up?
Hi great video, I have just brought a Seagate STEA4000400 4 tb, I need to format it on a mac. My main reason for buying it, is to put 4k movies on it and then connect it to my Samsung tv, which option should I choose, should I do GUID patrician map Master boot record.? Kind regards
Thanks for the video! I don't however understand there being two volumes or partitions when you click on "show all devices". What is the difference between the two? Thanks again!
I just picked up a Seagate 8TB External drive. They have Paragon software that allows the drive to be used on Mac or Windows, vs setting up for Mac use, as I believe you have done. I use Win 10 for a lot of video non a similar 8TB ED. I'm switching to a 2012 MB Pro 15" now and want the 8TB drive to be my future storage home, but access via Win 10 seems to be a plus. Any pro's and con's. For versatility, I'll probably go with Paragon. On further review of your video, I'll go with 1TB Time Machine Mac OS Ext and 7gb of exfat for all files. Thanks so much for a great video.
so every time i tried to erase and change the settings it always says error. i have tried the different ways (exfat and journaled) and all of them say error. what should i do?
I have the Imac 24 M1 and in disk utility there is no external option. I am also dealing with a 4 C port only how would I use a seagate 5t hard drive with the new iMac 24 M1?
you won’t see an external option until you connect the external hard drive. in your case the seagate 5tb. you just need an adapter to hook it up. look into usb C hubs
If I have a 2TB seagate that I’m planning to to use to save video, audio and photo files, do I wanna format it with MBR or GUID Partition? I only plan to use this for my MAC. What combination do do you recommended?
Hi. I have just bought a new seagate expansion hardrive and whenever i click on it from finder it says ' "Seagate" cannot be opened because the original item can't be found ' Is there anyway you can help me with this issue? Because i literally cannot access it. I've already made changes on the disc utility so it applies to this macos on my macbook and I there's nothing else I can do. :/
Hi! I wanted to ask what happens if I use this harddrive on windows and after a while I switch to Mac and go trough this process as you have shown in the video, will I lose my files or they will stay on that drive?
Why can’t these just be like a memory card and stick it in any device to copy move data to it instead of having to format the drive to work a specific computer?
You explain computer things the BEST of anyone else on You Tube
Thank you so much! I was completely panicking. Struggling with seagate and my m1 Mac ! Time Machine has started now. Big thank you
This helped me out significantly, more than the seagate support person did... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Do y’all recommend seagate for a 2020 MacBook pro? Seagate definitely is more affordable than other hardrives but is it worth it?
Seagate has lasted so far so good for me. I Usually prefer western digital (WD) but Seagate seems to work just fine
so every time i tried to erase and change the settings it always says error. i have tried the different ways (exfat and journaled) and all of them say error. what should i do?

Thank you for your explanation everything, it was very helpful , I’m so grateful, thank you very much 🙌🏻
can you use bootcamp with it?
When you press back up , does it put all the files of the Mac onto the external hard drive?
I only wish to have my GarageBand files on it
Thank you so much! This was very helpful.
You should how to format, but how do I set uo?
Great user friendly video! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Wow thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed!
If I have a 2TB seagate that I’m planning to to use to save video, audio and photo files, do I wanna format it with MBR or GUID Partition? I only plan to use this for my MAC. What combination do do you recommended?

Question: I already installed my external drive to my mac but im planning to buy a new mac, do I have to install it again to the new one?
by install you mean you are running time machine like in this video ? or you just mean you formatted journaled like in this video ?
Tech & Design oh, i formatted journaled...
Hi. I have just bought a new seagate expansion hardrive and whenever i click on it from finder it says ' "Seagate" cannot be opened because the original item can't be found '
Is there anyway you can help me with this issue? Because i literally cannot access it. I've already made changes on the disc utility so it applies to this macos on my macbook and I there's nothing else I can do. :/
how did you initially set it up? did you format it journaled like in this video ?
👏🏽 thank you so much 😊 Straight forward and simple to follow

no worries, most comments I get are usually before people watch the video. its normal
Very helpful thanks!
