Darren,



Thanks for your input.



I'm having trouble finding anyone who uses it within the lab environment - this may be because of various issues using it as non-administrator, or similar.

At the moment we have added the free version to our Mac image, and looking to test this soon.



If anyone else has further comments that I can collate on NTFS for Mac, this would be much appreciated.

Subject: Re: NTFS Driver Use in Mac



I use NTFS-3g on my work machine and at home, though it’s not deployed on lab machines for students for several reasons.

Works a treat for me, but I don’t need mad i/o performance for the occasional times I use it (mostly for working with external disks used by my Windows-centric colleagues).

Hello,



We are currently looking to add an NTFS Driver into our Mac OSX Image (currently 10.9.4).

I was wondering if anyone out there uses an NTFS driver on any of their Mac deployments?



I have found 3 different versions:

>  Paid solution Paragon NTFS https://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/

>  Paid solution Tuxera NTFS http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/

>  Free solution NTFS-3G http://sourceforge.net/projects/ntfs-3g/



The free solution seems to be slow (some forums have reported this, and Tuxera webpage seems to show speeds http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-embedded/performance/).





Can anyone comment on their experiences with any NTFS driver solution they have used?
