The Paragon Drivers allow you to use your Seagate drive with both Windows and Mac operating systems without having to reformat the drive. The driver you need depends on which Seagate drive you purchased. If you purchased a ‘For Mac’ drive you will need to install the HFS+ driver on your Windows computer. If you purchased a standard version of Backup Plus or GoFlex you will need to install the NTFS driver on your Mac computer.
