![]() ![]() Industry-standard embedded file systems.I actually own both, just in case I need the hfs driver that Paragon has, and in case I run into a problem with Tuxera in a time-critical situation, but I have not yet run into such a problem, never use Paragon, bought Tuxera for my wife's Mac, and would recommend Tuxera. I did end up paying for the commercial Tuxera driver to take advantage of performance updates and read/write caching, and to support development. I routinely backup large files (virtual machine hard drives for VirtualBox and VMWare Fusion) and large sets of files (iTunes libraries) to NTFS drives, and it is quick enough for me, and has been perfectly stable across updates. It mounted all drives just fine, did not corrupt on writes, and I have had no problems since. I then uninstalled Paragon and installed Tuxera (paid version trial). Once I got a drive mounted, it corrupted the file system when it wrote, so I had to then mount the drive on a Windows machine and chkdsk it to fix it. I tried Paragon first, and it failed to mount the first 2 NTFS drives I tried to attach via USB. Quick note on my experiences with both Paragon and Tuxera. This is why we are committed to keep maintaining and giving it away free in the future as well. The reason we can provide more at lower cost origins from the non-monetary value of the free NTFS-3G. The later two are developed by us, Tuxera.Ĭontrary to the lower fee, we believe that Tuxera offers a better product quality, interoperability, integration and support wise. Instead today we have three alternatives: Please check its earlier prices and when there is no competition. ![]() Otherwise NTFS-3G would be dead today and the only choice would be Paragon NTFS for about $100. To address this, we figured out to develop a premium, value added commercial version of our free software, so we can keep maintaining and give away NTFS-3G free. However this was not monetarily sustainable to finance development. In the first eight years we released everything free and as source code. The company old name was NTFS-3G Technology but we changed it to Tuxera in 2009 because we are developing other file system solutions as well. We are the same people, developing the free and open source NTFS software for OS X, Linux and many other platforms over the past ten years. It would be appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.No. If anyone can answer my question before I email them, please do. However, you cannot deny that the answer to your question was in my original post.ĪTM it looks like I am better of just emailing the company directly so I can get the answer I'm looking for. I was having a bad day at work and when I saw your post, it rubbed me the wrong way. ![]() All I told him was his advice was not really useful.Īs for my comment towards you: Yes I came across a bit harsh. He told me to use the free version, which is not what I asked. ![]() Heck, it might be the exact same thing and I could be wrong in saying they are different. All I want to know is if anyone knows if the improvement is worth the money. The license is for an IMPROVED version of the driver for personal or commercial use. You might want to re-read your own post and see that you have a bit of an attitude yourself. ![]()
