Hello. I have 3 external hard drives all formatted with MacOS Extended (journaled). The MacBook Pros do not recognize the 1 TB and 2 TB Seagate drives. They do recognize the 120GB Western Digital drive.
The Mac mini recognizes all 3 drives.

I've tried different cables. I've reformated the larger drives. Connections are only direct (no hub).
Neither of the Seagates are recognized in the MacBook Pro drive utility.

It seems that the Seagate recognition problem started when we upgraded to 10.13.3.
I've tried both USB ports. I've been through Seagate support.

Anyone know what the problem might be and a fix?

Seagate External Hard Drives Instructions
I have 2 Seagate Slim external hard drives, a 1 TB and a 2 TB. After having trouble having the MacBook Pro (2013) running Sierra 10.12.3, I downloaded the driver off of the Seagate site. Now the computer can recognize and open the drive. I formatted both drives using disk utility. All well and good except Time Machine does not work on either drive. It works on my very old (2008) 360GB Seagate external drive though. Time Machine tells me it cannot find or use the drive as the need to be formatted, yet both were. So, now all I can do is copy and paste from the computer to the drive instead of Time Machine. Any ideas how to get Time Machine to work?
