Seagate Drives

I've been having trouble with Photoshop saving files to one of my external drives. Turns out There have been several problems with Seagate drives on macs using Seagate's software. So I copied all of my files from said drive to my mac, uninstalled all of the Seagate software, partitioned the drive, reformatted using fat instead of ntfs, and copied all files back to the drive. Drive seems to be operating fine now. I guess macs just don't want to use that ntfs file system at all.
