Mac OS X Lion (10.7) was released recently, in the end of July 2011. UPD (IMPORTANT): Native driver makes NTFS unusable. UPD : There is even better way to solve the same issue with native Mac OS X drivers, but it has its own pros and cons. The driver is under active development, and I think that in time the situation will improve. In conclusion: since this is the first safe NTFS driver for the *NIX family of operating systems, I think that the write speed isn't such a great issue. Pluses: it enables the write access to NTFS drives, the distribution DMG image makes your life easier because it has all the dependencies, and the install packages automatically configure this driver in order to be ready to use.ĭrawbacks / flaws: the writing speed is quite slow, it doesn't support the native NTFS access control lists, the compression capabilities, or the native support for file encryption at file system level.

No RTFM (Read The Friendly Manual) required. After the reboot I found out that the NTFS partition was mounted as NTFS-3G. I was ready to pull out my *NIX knowledge in order to manually mount the NTFS partition that I have on this test machine after the driver installation, but I rebooted first, even though the package didn't required this. The NTFS-3G installer did its job for me. You need to install this package first before actually installing the NTFS-3G package. If you don't have a FUSE-compliant system installed, then you can find one within this package. The developers of the NTFS-3G driver said that they will fix the performance issues. The developer said that you can mount even USB devices that are formatted as NTFS, but in fact this driver makes your hard drive to work with the speed of a slow USB device. Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Tuxera brings reliable read-write compatibility for all NTFS-formatted USB drives on your Mac. Besides the fact that the mounted NTFS drives won't support the native access rights that were implemented into this file system, and the compression support, the writing speed on this drives is quite slow.

This is the first NTFS driver that provides write access to NTFS devices and it is considerate to be a safe one.
