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. -----Original Message----- From: MAC-ADEMIC-UK - for all end-users of Mac systems in U.K. Higher Education [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Darren Stephens Sent: 15 April 2015 14:46 To: [log in to unmask] 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).

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?
