Will my Seagate drive work with macOS 10.12 (Sierra)?



Seagate has evaluated current product lines to determine which ones will be supported in macOS 10.12.  Older drives that are not listed here may work, but have not been tested.  Software not listed below is not supported on macOS 10.12.  However, using the drive as a drag and drop destination or with Time Machine can be an alternative.

Note: This is a general compatibility article and not a troubleshooting article. If the drive is not being detected by the computer then see this article here.
