Removable devices, such as flash drives, cannot be GPT partitioned and work with MacDrive.

You can simply connect the disk to your computer, and MacDrive will be able to access the disk and assign it a drive letter. No additional software is needed to access a Mac-formatted disk that is GPT partitioned. Fixed disks can include internal hard drives, but can also include portable devices such as external hard drives which connect via USB, FireWire, etc. MacDrive fully supports GPT partitioning for fixed disks. When formatting Mac-formatted disks, such as HFS+ or HFS+J, in Disk Utility, current versions of the Mac OS typically use GPT as the default partition type. GPT (GUID Partition Table) is a partition type for disks. Optional secure file deletion (overwrites files to prevent recovery) Mounts Mac-formatted software RAID sets (created with Disk Utility on Mac OS)Īutomatic file defragmentation (improves performance)Ĭan optionally configure individual Mac disk(s) as “read only” (prevents any changes) Mount SoftRAID sets (RAID 0/stripe and RAID 1/mirror). Mount dual-format Mac optical discs (Mac/Windows) Mount Mac OS partition on Boot Camp systemsĬan optionally configure MacDrive to globally set all disks as “read only” (prevents any changes)Īutomatic notification of available MacDrive updates (if enabled)īrowse and copy files out of Time Machine backupsĬompatible with GPT, MBR, APT partition types Supports USB (including 3.0), FireWire 400/800, eSATA, SATA, IDE, SCSI, Fibre channel, Thunderbolt Note: This setting is off by default to increase performance Supports Mac files without extensions (converts TYPE and CREATOR fields to Windows extensions) Mount Mac optical discs (CD, DVD, Blu-Ray) Read/write to Mac hard disks, devices, etc.

Mount Mac hard disks and devices in Windows (HFS+, HFS, HFS, including journaled and non-journaled)
