  • Choosing between Hard Drive Reformat or Paragon for NTFS
    As an alternative to Paragon NTFS, there is also Tuxera NTFS for Mac. Source: 10 months ago
  • Question: External HDD not working with my 2023 pro M2
    I would try Tuxera. They do have a trial version but the purchased license is only $15. Might be worth giving it a try. Source: 12 months ago
  • NTFS/HD questions
    If you still need to access the data on Windows machines then I recommend Tuxera. https://ntfsformac.tuxera.com/. It will give you full R/W access to the drive. I’ve been using it for years. There is no subscription just a one time payment and you have access to all future updates. Source: about 1 year ago
  • External Hard Drive suddenly Windows Formatted?
    You should typically have no issue reading from the NTFS disk with a Mac but writing to is a separate matter. The driver you were using may not be compatible with Ventura. Here are a couple paid options: Paragon NTFS, along with NTFS for Mac. There are also a couple open-source options with limited support but should be otherwise functional: NTFS-3G or macFUSE.
