Tuxera NTFS for Mac. Easy to work with NTFS partitions
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
NTFS, which replaced the previously used FAT, is the default file system for Windows operating systems, and remains so for over a decade. In OS X also uses a different file system - HFS +. Although OS X and supports file system from Microsoft, but it does so not in its entirety.
Let's take a trivial example of life. Unremarkable office worker, who spent his entire life for the Windows PC, heard enough from friends about how good and useful Apple's operating system. No longer able to tolerate the constant error "Vind" he gently puts all your important data to an external USB-drive, buy a Mac and starts dating. And everything is seemingly well until such time as there is no need to the same USB-drive something move. And then there is a problem: the operating system from Cupertino does nothing to copy to the disk. Sweat breaks through an office worker in the head spinning thoughts from the series "Boss, all is lost!", And the question arises: is not what happens to the data?
No, nothing is wrong with the data. Spreadsheets and documents open, the films are viewed, and the music is played. Maybe it's cancer? And again - no. By default, OS X is able to work with NTFS in read-only mode. Would you like to write something - good enough to be formatted in HFS +. But what if the USB drive is now
used and on Mac and Win system? It's simple. To do this, you need to teach the Mac to work with NTFS, for what and need a great utility Tuxera NTFS for Mac.Tuxera - is something like a driver for the system from Apple, which helps her to learn how to make full use of the file system from Microsoft.
After installing and rebooting your system (yes, is the rare case when you need to restart your Mac), Tuxera settings will appear in the standard application settings in the "Others". Here you can delete it and. You can look at the tabs run with the settings, but if you are not sure what you are doing, it is best not to change anything. Now Texura driver is included instead of the standard and automatically mounts all mapped drives.
Everything. Following these simple manipulations, all connected to the OS X disk with the NTFS file system are "like family." No extra action is required.
Our office worker can be calm. Now, where would he not connected my external drive that will run on both read and write.
Tuxera NTFS for Mac uses "smart" caching, so your data is extremely secure at maximum speed will be given.
Of course, there are other programs of this kind, for example, Paragon NTFS for Mac or free counterparts, but the first person I have often noticed the drop in speed, while the latter does not work at all without dancing with tambourines. So for our office worker driver from the company Tuxera - an excellent solution that just works.
