Perhaps one of the most common complaints about macOS, like other systems developed by Apple, is their lack of interoperability with other platforms. One such example is the lack of native support for the NTFS file system in macOS and OS X. Despite being by far the most common file system, and the default file system of all current versions of Windows, macOS only provides very limited support. You cannot write data to any NTFS drives. Instead, you can only read the contents of the drive, and even then performance is often lacking. Moreover, macOS provides no compatibility with the advanced functions of the world’s most popular file system. For that, you will need a third-party solution that brings complete NTFS support to your Mac. This will allow you to do everything with your Windows-formatted drives in macOS without any restrictions. Tuxera NTFS for Mac provides full read and write support for NTFS drives with rock-solid reliability and compatibility with advanced NTFS features.

You can keep everything that’s important safe thanks to a robust NTFS driver that ensures files are kept intact and uncorrupted. This allows you to swap the drives and use them in either operating system without restrictions nor risks. It even means you don’t have to wait as long for file transfers. Unlike the very basic native support macOS provides for NTFS drives, Tuxera NTFS for Mac uses smart caching technology to provide sustained high file transfer speeds for consistently decent performance.
