I’m happy to report version 15 restores the ability to format NTFS drives alongside the usual Mac OS Extended, exFAT, and FAT options, but the software now works as a standalone application as well.Īnd what a gorgeous app it is! The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume.
NTFS PARAGON DRIVER FOR MAC FOR MAC
In the previous NTFS for Mac 14, formatting tools were briefly exiled to System Preferences after years of working directly inside Apple’s Disk Utility. Paragon NTFS for Mac 15: Hey, good-lookin’ Now available as a standalone app, Paragon NTFS for Mac 15 features a gorgeous new user interface. Because this software is derived from Paragon’s proprietary Universal File System Driver, users won’t experience bugs or outright instabilities found in open-source alternatives, which tap into hidden NTFS write support Apple disables by default for good reason.
That’s because NTFS for Mac delivers read/write data transfer rates equivalent to the native macOS HFS+ file system. With this software installed, working with such volumes is seamless. But NTFS remains the de facto standard for most PC users. Microsoft has since moved on to exFAT, which resolves the 2TB limitation while natively supported for read and write on Mac. Macs have always been able to read and write to another Windows format, FAT (File Allocation Table), but this older format isn’t well suited to today’s larger capacity drives, maxing out at 2TB with FAT32.
NTFS PARAGON DRIVER FOR MAC MAC OS X
Paragon NTFS for Mac 15 ($20) is a file system driver that allows Mac OS X Yosemite and later (incuding macOS Sierra) to read and write to hard drives, solid-state storage devices, and USB thumb drives formatted for Windows systems.
