BUT when I went into Disk Utility to check the format of the Seagate Backup Plus 10TB drive I saw confusing information.ġ) The info for the Seagate Backup Plus 10TB drive (top level):Ģ) The info for the Seagate Backup Plus 10TB drive (second level):ģ) I don’t know how to understand what the reformatting options are other than to press “erase” and see the options.

I thought to myself “maybe I should just confirm that it is the normal Mac OS Extended (Journaled)/GUID setup, so the two drives match. It occurred to me that I didn’t reformat the Backup Plus drive when I first connected it. The box for the second Expansion drive says “formatted for Windows” so I assume I will need to erase and reformat it like I usually do (to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and GUID as the Scheme). So this morning the new Seagate Expansion 10TB drive arrived, and I’m unboxing it and getting ready to clone the first Backup Plus 10TB drive. It accepted all the transferred files and I’ve been able to open every library, start working on the drive, save everything, and it all seems to be functioning perfectly.

Usually I learned what is necessary to know as I go, but sometimes not-knowing backs me into a corner. I’ve managed to paralyze myself with my technological ignorance. I might even be freaking out over something that is not a big deal, and all I need is someone to talk me down. I might have done something stupid and I’m looking for help. To back that drive up, I got a second Seagate, but this one is a Seagate Expansion 10TB (I’m working in Rome and ordering off Amazon, but couldn’t find another Backup Plus so I ordered the Expansion version).

Happily, as time goes on I can get bigger-capacity drives for less money, so I just acquired a Seagate Backup Plus 10TB drive to put ALL the episode libraries on in order to bring the whole dang series to final cut. Since there is so much footage and each episode has its own library, the series is spread over many external drives. I’m using FCPX to cut 8 half-hour episodes on a late 2013 iMac with OS10.13.6. I’m working on a documentary series that started filming in 2015.
