Using a 2TB SSD on a 2016 MacBook Pro

Solution 1:

macOS is able to read NTFS by default, but it doesn't come with write support. There are third-party solutions for that, like NTFS-3G (there are multiple questions dealing with this product here on Apple.SE).

If you are using this SSD only on your Mac, using NTFS would be a poor solution (performance, feature support). Instead, just reformat the SSD with APFS.

For pure data transfer, another option would be to format the disk with exFAT which has read and write support natively on both Windows and macOS. This filesystem is lacking features you would expect on a modern system, but if all you want is transfer images, videos, ZIPs, and the like, it is sufficient.

Solution 2:

You could try shrinking the partition containing NTFS volume and create a new FAT32 writable volume in the free space. To do this, you would need either a computer with Windows installed or your existing Mac. Do to this with your existing Mac, you would have to use the Boot Camp Assistant to make a bootable Windows 10 USB flash drive installer. Instead of installing Windows, you would boot from this installer, open a Command Prompt window and use the diskpart command to shrink the NTFS volume and create the new writable volume. If you want the new volume to be ExFAT or Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format, then you would have to erase the new FAT32 volume from macOS using either diskutil or the Disk Utility.
