If my instincts are right, you are working or living in an environment that consists of both Windows and Mac computers. Well, this is inevitable considering that we are living at the helm of the golden age of information- where different operating systems are an indispensable requisite. The problem is, this versatility brings forth incompatibility. And more often than not, it results in a continuous and pestering headache more so when copying and transferring files.The HFS+ file system is supported by macOS High Sierra and previous releases of macOS and OS X. In the newest macOS 10.15 Catalina, however, things have changed and now the supported drive types are the Apple File System (APFS) drives. This new file system unleashes the full potential of SSD drives for faster storage, easy retrieval of files, and securing files.
Features added to this new file management system include snapshots, crash reporting, space sharing, and cloning to name but a few. Mac users upgrading to the Catalina need to convert their drives to APFS first.Natively, Windows PC do not even 'see' APFS and HFS+ formatted partitions. You could convert the drive to FAT32 or exFAT that both Mac and Windows can read. However, this is impossible if the HFS+ or APFS has over 1T data. What should you do? Here is a tutorial help you read Mac drive on Windows. UFS is a benchmark software with the capacity to handle complex raid systems and virtual disks.
Moreover, it can also facilitate data access to both APFS and HFS formatted drives giving you unlimited access to most Mac-formatted drives. Though it is not possible to view files on window file explorer, it comes with a user-friendly where you can’t enter simple commands and get direct access. You can also use the inbuilt search function to look files and once you get them, “right-click” and select “save this object to”. You can then choose a path and begin transferring your data.
This is perhaps the best software that will grant you full and unlimited access to write and read HFS formatted partitions on virtually any MBR or GPT drives. And though it is a premium app that needs a subscription, it comes with an exceptionally high HFS stability, performance, full compatibility with Boot camp drivers, and automounting, a universal installer for both 64 and 32 bit systems disk management through a console and journaling support. With it, you have the freedom to write, copy and edit files SSD, HDD and flash drives formatted with Mac OS Extented. Have you heard of exFAT? Well, this is the new kid in school when it comes to file formats used in mobile devices and flash drives. It is ideal for you if you constantly use both Mac and Windows computer. Unlike FAT32, its code is light since it is optimized for flash drives.
This means that it will not stall or slow your computer when running. ExFAT will come in handy when you are looking for bigger file sizes which its predecessor FAT32 can’t handle. In addition, it offers more compatibility. Even so, keep in mind that formatting your drive will erase all the data on it. Therefore, it is advisable to format your external drive as a last result and only if all the devices you have support exFAT.Bottom lineWith so many ways to break the incompatibility barrier between Mac and Windows, you should never be limited whenever you want to transfer files across devices.
I mean with these tools, you have unlimited access to all of your data regardless of where it is.
