If you’re a Windows user and you need to access APFS or HFS drives, you might think it’s not possible without a Mac computer. However, there is a third-party software called MacDrive that can help you with that. By installing MacDrive, you can share files to and from APFS and HFS+ formatted drives, including internal drives, portable drives, desktop multi-bay drives, and even iPads. This software allows you to read and write to the drive regardless of the platform. With MacDrive, you get fully compatible and reliable data-sharing convenience that works out of the box.

You will be able to read and write to almost any hard drive, SSD, CD, DVD, and more. You can even access SoftRAID RAID 0 and RAID 1 volumes with MacDrive 11 Pro.
