Nov 29, 2010 - One of the daily hassles of using Apple Macintosh computers is the incompatibilities that arise with the broad Microsoft Windows world. And the most useful FUSE is the NTFS-3G Read/Write Driver, which ables system to load NTFS with read and write capability. This is truly the greatest news for dual booting Mac OS X and Windows XP or Vista.
Streamlined and easy-to-use macOS utility designed for reading and writing Windows disk volumes formatted using the NTFS file system
Tuxera NTFS is a practical and reliable solution for Mac users that need to access, read and write various disk partitions formatted using Windows.
Helps you gain unrestricted access to NTFS volumes
Unfortunately, Mac OS X does not allow its users to write on Microsoft Windows formatted NTFS volumes by default and, as a result, this can prove to be a major inconvenience for users that need to access this type of partitions.
Thanks to Tuxera NTFS, you can now read and write in NTFS formatted partitions directly from your Mac’s Finder. The advanced smart caching layer also ensures high data transfer speeds between your mac and a NTFS volume.
NTFS, short for New Technology File System, is a proprietary file system developed by Microsoft for its popular operating system, starting with Windows NT.
Create NTFS disk images and partitions with ease
Tuxera NTFS is designed to work with both 32-bit and 64-bit kernel modes and features support for all existing versions of NTFS. Moreover, Tuxera NTFS makes it easy for your to create NTFS partitions and disk images in addition to verifying and repairing NTFS volumes.
On top of that, Tuxera NTFS is fully compatible with third-party applications such as Parallels Desktop, TrueCrypt, VMware Fusion and other well known apps. To take advantage of the above presented features, you just have to download the DMG, mount it, launch the installer and follow the installation steps.
Customize Tuxera NTFS based on your needs
It is worth mentioning that you need to restart your system after installing the app. From Tuxera NTFS’ pref pane you have the option to enable or disable the app, turn on or off the system caching and configure Tuxera NTFS to mount unclean volumes, store extended attributes and apply services fro Mac translations for incompatible characters.
Furthermore, via its preference pane’s Volumes tab, you can also easily check the mounted volumes and refresh the list with just a click of a mouse button.
On the whole, Tuxera NTFS is the perfect solution for any Mac user who needs simple and fast read and write access to files stored on NTFS formatted partitions on a Mac.

A very specialized product that does its job in a very unobtrusive way. You just install it and it works.

It is pretty fast with NTFS transfers (slightly slower than OSX extended partitions obviously) and I’ve never had any problems mid-transfer or anything. For me, it’s always done what it said on the box, and now with V14 it’s got El Capitan compatibility, so no complaints here. If you’re looking for a way to have plug-and-play NTFS drives on your mac, there really isn’t a better alternative to Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Highly recommended for all Mac users!

If you have a Mac and you need to access volumes that are formatted NTFS, this is the best solution out there. Why Apple hasn’t just baked in support for NTFS after all these years still remains a mystery. I’ve been using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software for several years now and have never had any problems with it.
