Puedes formatear un disco duro externo o una unidad USB para que funcione de manera constante en Mac y Windows usando un sistema de archivos ExFat. Cuando usas "Utilidad de discos" para formatearlo, puedes seleccionar el formato ExFat. Este último soporta cualquier discos duros y archivos de cualquier tamaño, a diferencia del formato FAT32. Cuando formatees el disco, toda la información que está ahí se borrará.
