FHDFormatter

FHDFormatter is a free and super easy-to-use app for OS X. Its main job? Helping you format your Freecom hard drives without any hassle! Whether you're using HFS+ or FAT32 formats, this tool has got your back.

How to Use FHDFormatter

Once you connect your Freecom hard drive to your Mac, FHDFormatter makes it simple. You just pick the file system you want when formatting. After that, click the “Format” button, and voila! It gets to work.

What Happens After Formatting?

When it’s done, the drives formatted with FHDFormatter can be used on different systems. If you went with HFS+, they’ll work great on a Mac. If you chose FAT32, then they’re good for both Windows and Mac OS X (just keep in mind that files over 4 GB won’t fit).

Similar to Disk Utility

You know how Apple’s Disk Utility helps format drives? Well, FHDFormatter does the same thing for Freecom drives on OS X. But here’s a little catch—while it does its job well, adding an NTFS formatting option would make it even better!

The Need for NTFS Formatting

If FHDFormatter had NTFS support, it would be the go-to choice for anyone wanting to store files larger than 4 GB on their hard drives before using them with Windows computers.

A Tool for Everyone

All in all, FHDFormatter is straightforward enough for beginners who need to format Freecom branded hard drives on their Mac OS X machines. It's a handy tool that really gets the job done!
