MacOS – Using NTFS-3G to write to an external hard drive results in error code 100102

external-diskhard drivemacosntfsterminal

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:

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.

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