Lastly, open a setup wizard from virtual machine software and start creating a Windows virtual machine on your Mac. But at the end, you have to pay for this if you are going to use this software from time to time.
Next, go and buy a virtual machine software like Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion. For example, the latest Windows 10 ISO is more than 5 GB. This will be a boring and time-consuming process as the file is quite big.
Also, it will dramatically slow own the performance.įirst, you need to download Windows ISO from Microsoft. And a Windows virtual machine eats up 50 GB of free space on your Mac. However, the setup process is much more complicated. If none of the above software worked, then it is a good idea to create a Windows virtual machine on your Mac and start reading or writing NTFS drive in Windows virtual machine. Windows OS has native support for NTFS drive. Now, use the following commands to install macFUSE and NTFS-3G.įinally, you are able to write NTFS volume in Terminal. To write NTFS drive with macFUSE, please first install homebrew package manager on your Mac. However, you have to grant permission from the author for commercial usage. Additionally, it is totally free for home users. Currently, it allows read and write access to NTFS drive through NTFS-3G API, an open-source library of Microsoft NTFS implementation. In theory, macFUSE extends macOS's native file handling API in user space and created a new mechanism to implement a complete file system for macOS. But later, Google no longer provided support for this project in 2009 and it is now maintained by Benjamin Fleischer, a veteran in file system development. MacFUSE was initially an open-source projected developed by Google Inc. macFUSE is a popular one and we are going to share more details in the following part and it can be treated as reliable alternative to Paragon NTFS for Mac. Hence, we need third-party apps with strong NTFS support to get the job done. However, this implementation is so limited and sometimes the NTFS drive is not writable as expected. Mounty uses Apple's built-in kernel drive to read/write NTFS drives. No dedicated support as it is a one-person project.Drive name disappear from Finder after mounted with Mounty app.Has to remount NTFS drive one more time.
