I have an external Seagate hard drive that is recognised and works on Windows computers but not on my MacBook Air which I am currently using. I am able to mount the hard drive in read-only mode but I want to write files to it from my computer. Using the Paragon Driver software offered by Seagate does not work for me, as I am only able to mount my hard drive in read-only mode.

I have installed NTFS-3G using Homebrew, following the instructions on this tutorial site. After installing NTFS-3G, I was able to copy a folder to my hard drive. However, the size of the folder is 4 GB, so it took some time to be copied. However, when the folder copy progress bar reached the end, I received the following error message:

enter image description here

And the folder was not copied. I have tried copying it another time to my hard drive to see if it would work but have still received the same error. I am not sure why this error message is occurring and how I can resolve it. Any insights are appreciated.

  • If you have a Seagate drive, then remove NTFS-3G and please install the better Paragon Driver for macOS to properly enable read and write support for NTFS on Seagate drives. (NTFS-3G is a bit buggy). Note that this will only work with Seagate drives. On other manufacturers drives, NTFS will only be read-only.

  • Didn't you find any workaround your situation ? I do have the exact same problem on my side.

Maybe commercial products like iBoysoft NTFS for Mac, Paragon NTFS for Mac, and Tuxera NTFS for Mac is more compatible with recent tech.

  • Is this the accepted answer because the OP was only able to fix his issue by installing one of these tools ? @ceno980

I had the same problem - I actually got the 100102 error right when starting to copy the first file. I could get around it by copying files manually from within the Terminal. However, the copy was very slow - like 20MB/min or so.
