After upgrading my MacOS to big sure, i realized that some features did not work intuitively as previously. This includes my HD driver (MPassport).
Files are formatted with NTFS, and the Boss MacOS does not want to allow write.

Plugin your HD drive, then check its volume name under /Volumes
let's say your volume origin name (ls -l /Volumes) is MPassport.
retrieve the disk name
disk_name=$(diskutil list | grep -i passport | awk '{print $6}')
then:
origin_name=MPassport
sudo umount /Volumes/${origin_name}
sudo mkdir /Volumes/${disk_name}
sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,auto,nobrowse /dev/${disk_name} /Volumes/${disk_name}
open /Volumes/${disk_name}
Happy read/write !
