Yeh, it will read the drive and even import some files into PT, but saving to it is not an option for this particular drive.

If you want to be able to save or put files on the drive you will need one of th eNTFS plug in utilities as OS X natively doesn’t support writing to NTFS drives but should read it fine. Also PT may not allow you to set NTFS drives for use within the app so for PT projects you may have to move it off the external in finder to another drive before attempting to open a project.

I didn’t know if there was another way to change it from read only mode. Thanks anyway though.
