Hi. I recently bought a 5tb seagate external hhd and it came with NTFS. I used the Windows method you just demonstrated to reformat it to exFAT so I can use it with my 2021 iPad Pro. But after doing so the drive now gives me an unavailable error. Will unchecking the Quick Format make a difference or is there another way to format?

There's about 4 mins of completely useless information, if I wanted to know any of that stuff I would simply look for it. Please don't post videos with one topic and cover basics about what different drives are etc. It might be related but not what people are looking for.

Hi! I put my files on a Toshiba Canvio 1 TB and checked it multiple times the day I added the files. The drive came formatted. I plug it in today and says it needs to be be formatted. Was this human error, machine error, or another human tampering with it?

Good clear infromation and thank you! I have a question about changed capacity of the iomega external drive. Would the format of the Iomega drive will reistate the capacity, which is suppose to be 1 trillion GB, instead of 32 GB.

FOR MAC USERS start a 5:27 Steps after inserting hard drive include: Finder -> applications -> Utilities -> Disk utility -> Select external hard drive and continue video to follow 2 second formatting steps.
