Both tools are built-in in macOS, so we do not need to download or install anything. We will use the Terminal app and two tools diskutil and dd. Therefore, to avoid problems, I prefer a very old and proven method. You can read more about the issue in this article. For many people a hard drive becomes unusable after using the Disk Utility app. The easiest way to format the disc is by using macOS built-in Disk Utility app, but problems are very possible. So the only workaround is to format the disc to HFS+ or APFS.
macOS can read but not write to NTFS formatted drives. But most drives (from any manufacturer) come formatted in the NTFS file system format for OS Windows, while for macOS we needed the HFS+ format or the Apple’s brand new APFS (Apple File System) format. A Transcend company says that it can be used on both Windows and macOS. I bought a brand new external hard drive (disk) Transcend StoreJet 25M3 1Tb.
