Is there no problem with compatibility of external hard drives for Windows in MacBook?



macbook for-windows hard-disk compatibility question mac apple

I'm using MacBook Air.

I want to connect and use external hard because of capacity issues.

I found that there is no Mac-only external hard drive.

Then, I think you usually use it on Windows.

Is there no compatible problem with external hard drives for Windows?

As you said, we don't have a Mac external hard drive
It depends on how you use any hard drive to format it
If you format fat32 or expat, you can connect and use it, whether it's Windows or Mac

You can buy any external hard drive
Just do it exFAT way when formatting
Fat32 is inconvenient to write because the maximum file size is only 4 gigabytes

I'll add one more.
I recommend you to use a PC with Windows when you format it with expat
They say that's the only way to avoid errors
