Formatting new Hard drive for mac & windows
Hello
I have recently bought a Transcend StoreJet 25H3 USB 3.0. On the box it says;
- Formatted NTFS for windows 7, Windows 8
- Requires reformatting Mac OS X
- Latest windows service packs recommended; Mac OS X 10.7 or later.
Storgae Media 2.5" SATA Hard Drive Disk Drive
Connection Interface USB 3.0
Power Supply 5V DC from USB port.
I have the a
- OS X Yosemite (10.10.3),
- Processor3,4 GHz Intel Core i5,
- Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3,
- Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB.
- Processor Speed: 3,4 GHz
I need to know how* to format it on a mac for both windows and mac compatible devices as well as know what the formatting will do in regards to file size restriction etc. I have already tried to format this hard drive and eventually had to return it as it did not work on mac or windows.
I have already tried to format this hard drive and eventually had to return it as it did not work on mac or windows. After I formatted the Hard drive last time to MS-DOS (FAT32).
When I attempted to transfer any file to the hard drive the following came up; "The operation can’t be completed because the item ‘***’ is in use." I also struggled to eject the hard drive, the message displayed was "The disk 'StoreJet 25H3' wasn't ejected because one or more programs may be using it."
I have since then had the device replaced to try again!
Any helpful suggestions!?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), null
