The ideal solution would be to enable write support by installing suitable NTFS drivers for Mac. Also, the read/write performance of ExFAT is relatively slower compared to NTFS, and it may not be natively compatible with older versions of Windows, Though the first solution is free, it’s not recommended, especially when you need to backup a significant amount of data, as formatting the drive will delete all its contents. We can fix this read-only access issue primarily in two ways: MacOS doesn’t have native write support for NTFS, which means, you can only view or open files stored on the drive, but can’t edit, copy, move, or delete them.
Have you ever come across the situation where your Mac just won’t let you write to an external drive? Most of the time, this might be because the drive you’re trying to save data to, is formatted as NTFS.
