I have a Lacie 4TB external HDD which have 1.5 TB of data but I am not able to access it as it looks like the the file system of the volume which contains my data is Apple's File System and I cant find any way to access it from windows machine.
Please Help!!!
EDIT : Is it even possible? Or Do I need to hack my way through it? Cause I really dont wanna pay any direct/indirect singly penny to Apple.
There is a driver that you can get for windows to see the file system, and be able to read it. You won't be able to write. If you have a mac, there should be a driver available.

This is the source I use for HFS, I am still looking for APFS.
Are you sure it’s APFS, which JUST shipped this month in macOS 10.13 High Sierra? Did you convert the drive yourself after installing the new OS in the last week or so? I don’t think the install process auto-converts external drives. I think you probably need HFS+ support, not APFS. As of mid 2017, HFS+ is still far more common than APFS as a Mac-native filesystem volume format. – Spiff – 2017-10-04T18:58:35.430
