Using Paragon with NTFS HDDs

[tech_guy]

Anyone else using Paragon NTFS for Mac® OS X 10 to deal with NTFS portable HDDs?

 

Good purchase? Reliable? Easy to use?

 

We have a non-technical user so we need a simple solution for their home MAC. They need to move the files between this and their work WIN7 PC.

 

They have a couple of portable HDDs with hundreds of GB of data and copying off and starting again isn't a simple solution for them.

There is also : Tuxera NTFS for Mac | Tuxera

 

There is the manual way of doing it ( not sure if this is an option ) : http://prateekvjoshi.com/2013/04/21/ntfs-write-support-on-os-x-mountain-lion/

Paragon's NTFS driver for OS X is faster than Tuxera's.

I use Tuxera at home - think I got it with a discount code earlier in the year.

 

It works flawlessly, I've not had to touch it since I installed it. And I write to NTFS USB drives a lot

Paragon purchased and user is now a happy bunny.
