Tuxera NTFS For Mac

Tuxera NTFS is a practical and reliable solution for Mac users that need to access, read and write various disk partitions formatted using Windows.

Unfortunately, macOS 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.

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, the app makes it easy for you 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.

It is worth mentioning that you need to restart your system after installing the app. From the 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 for Mac translations for incompatible characters.

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.
