OS X has NEVER supported anything more than reading an NTFS formatted drive without some 3rd party tool. I had a struggle finding a NTFS read/writer that works after downloading OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
This morning I found at Seagate.com a link for the Samsung drive NTFS for mac ( Paragon app downloaded as NTFSforMac14.0.456), which has worked beautifully. The link is in Portuguese but you can Google Translator it to make sure i'm not driving you to any fishing site or whatever and there's probably a version at Seagate US.
Microsoft NTFS is one of the primary Windows file systems. If you work on a Mac computer and need to read or write files from HDD, SSD or a flash drive. The NTFS-3G driver is a freely and commercially available and supported read/write NTFS driver for Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, NetBSD, Solaris, Haiku, and other operating systems.
Before I could find it, I had a little help from the IT guy from work who taught me how to mount the drive using the Terminal app from the utilities folder which already comes with the OS and can be found on the Applications folder. You can open the terminal and use the command sudo su: With your portable device plugged, type: Sudo su enter your mac password./montaNTFS And Bam! Your HDD hard disk shows up at your desktop. But it only works as read, not read/write.
I hope it helps. Sorry for the non native English. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
