Hello, Writing to an NTFS formatted drive doesn't work in Mac OS X, since NTFS is a windows-only format. You'll have to reformat the drive either in XFat, or Fat32. I hope this helps!

I will have to test asap if writing to ntfs really works from mac osx, that would be nice indeed. I wont be able to encrypt the disk then but it does not really have much sensitive data on it anyway.

If you want full access to the drive it needs to be FAT32, although, I've got a 2TB external formatted FAT32 here so I can share it between mac and windows, and I'm not very happy with the performance. >> >> Best, >> >> Erik Burggraaf >> This month in Ebony Promos: Two new gps systems for demo.
