[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1756407, member: 110816"] It is almost never a good idea to use NTFS for an external drive to start with. If an external drive needs to be shared amongst Mac's and Windows machines, then ExFAT is the format that should be chosen. If an external drive is being used exclusively (and guaranteed to be so) with a Mac, then you an go HFS, but ExFAT is almost always the right answer.. Anywho, you should ensure that you are running the latest version of Paragon's NTFS software. Folders/files don't appear and disappear from media unless you specifically delete/move them. Just plugging in and out the drive shouldn't change what appears and what doesn't.. If you have another large drive around, I'd format that at ExFAT and move data over to it and then reformat this Seagate as ExFAT for future use as well.. [/QUOTE]
