<p>NTFS for Mac (http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/) is the best such software solution: Reliable, fast, and now affordable as well, version 14 (Paragon skipped unlucky number 13) provides unlimited read/write access to hard drives, SSDs, or thumb drives intended for Windows computers.</p><figure class="large "><a class="zoom" href="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/01/ntfs-for-mac-14-settings-100640602-primary.idge.png)"><img src="(http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2016/01/ntfs-for-mac-14-settings-100640602-large.png)" alt="ntfs for mac 14 settings" width="580" height="443"/>[/url] <figcaption>
