You are better off treating a 'smart' device as a classic 'dumb' device as it will usually allow any custom setups to work with any model/'brand device. These 'smart' TVs are not what they are cracked up to be, nor are they safe (for your privacy, or your networked devices and tend to have a limited time limit for features & updates). Personally I would look into other options for whatever you are doing with the LG TV so that you don't need any NTFS drivers on your Mac. Or just purchase all Seagate or all WD drives. Maybe the Paragon driver used by one (or perhaps both) have been customized in some way to make them unique. If you erase the drives yourself, then both should be using a compatible NTFS format. Maybe their proprietary apps are preventing the driver from working with their competitors' drives (I hope that is not the case, but I really don't trust companies these days).ĭid you try erasing the drives yourself since maybe from the factory they each use a slightly different allocation size or some other NTFS feature which may not be compatible between the two different apps/drivers.

To add, save, or write files to your Mac, you need an add-on NTFS-driver. Have you tried completely uninstalling both proprietary apps and their drivers, rebooting, then installing just one of those proprietary apps? It is possible installing both apps may be installing both Paragon drivers which may be stepping on each others toes. When you get a new Mac, its only able to read Windows NTFS-formatted USB drives.
