MacOS supports FAT and exFAT, but does not support NTFS. Therefore, if you are using a NTFS file system, you need to install a third-party driver to use it. The following two methods are available:
app
- Paragon:https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac//
- Western Data:https://support-eu.wd.com/app/answers/detailweb/a_id/34871/~/external-drive%3A-paragon-ntfs-driver-for-mac
If you are a MacOS user, it is recommended that you back up your disk files and format the disk to exFAT for use, which can provide a better file compatibility experience.
You can try it as follows:
- Make sure the USB cable connection is normal
- After confirming that the USB cable is connected, make sure that USB is currently using the USB storage protocol;
- Restart the computer and try again
