How do I format USB drives for Mac and PC on Windows? In other words, how to make an external hard drive compatible with Mac and PC?”ĮxFAT and FAT32 can be supported by Mac and PCīy default, Mac use HFS+, while PC usually use NTFS.
But if it is formatted as NTFS, it will not be fully supported in the Mac operating system. If the USB drive is formatted as an HFS+ file system, Windows computer will not support it. I have a USB drive and want to use it on both Mac and PC.
