The app includes options to enable Spotlight indexing, mount disks read-only, or disable auto-mount on a per-volume basis. There’s even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories. Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume. I’m happy to report version 15 restores the ability to format NTFS drives alongside the usual Mac OS Extended, exFAT, and FAT options, but the software now works as a standalone application as well.Īnd what a gorgeous app it is! The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. In the previous NTFS for Mac 14, formatting tools were briefly exiled to System Preferences after years of working directly inside Apple’s Disk Utility. Paragon NTFS for Mac 15: Hey, good-lookin’ Now available as a standalone app, Paragon NTFS for Mac 15 features a gorgeous new user interface. Because this software is derived from Paragon’s proprietary Universal File System Driver, users won’t experience bugs or outright instabilities found in open-source alternatives, which tap into hidden NTFS write support Apple disables by default for good reason. That’s because NTFS for Mac delivers read/write data transfer rates equivalent to the native macOS HFS+ file system.
