Work with NTFS Drives on a Mac

Tuxera NTFS presents a simple and easy-to-use solution for Macintosh users who want to be able to access and use drives formatted with the NTFS file system without any restrictions. The standard format for any internal or external hard drive formatted for use with Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X provides very limited support for NTFS by comparison. Fortunately, Tuxera NTFS overcomes the limitations, with users being able to enjoy full read and write compatibility with absolutely any storage device formatted with the NTFS file system. Additionally, your data will be protected thoroughly thanks to the program’s smart caching layer, and it delivers the fastest data transfer speeds available for Macintosh computers.

A feature-rich and versatile solution that greatly expands on the native ability to access NTFS drives in OS X, the software supports all versions of the Macintosh operating system from 10.4, including Yosemite with its 64-bit architecture. Tuxera NTFS also provides full support for the extended attributes used by the file system, and it is compatible with various popular virtualization and data encryption platforms such as TrueCrypt, Parallels Desktop and VMWare Fusion.

With Tuxera NTFS at your disposal, you’ll be able to use NTFS drives just as you would with Windows itself: it supports all versions of the NTFS file system, it allows you to create partitions or create disk images, and it even allows you to verify and repair NTFS-formatted volumes. As far as performance is concerned, it provides similar transfer speeds as those with the native HFS+ system.
