Despite W.Hogben's experience, I accept to say that Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 does assignment on Mac OS X 10.6._ Snow Leopard.

You appetite the best abreast adaptation of Paragon NTFS for Mac whether you accept Snow Leopard or Leopard or Tiger. I've alone approved this out with Snow Leopard which is what I currently accept on my Macbook. If you appetite to try this out, go to Paragon and get the balloon adaptation and analysis it out yourself. What I advance you do if you don't appetite to appointment the botheration that W.Hogben had, you should aback up your Mac's harddrive afore aggravating out Paragon NTFS for Mac. I don't accept what happened to W.Hogben except maybe he had bad luck with a antecedent adaptation of the software that he was aggravating out on Leopard (not Snow) - bad luck can happen. Anyways, if you are absolutely abashed by what W.Hogben says, again aback up your arrangement and that's what you should do anyways to be Able to balance from the adversity that W.Hogben encountered. What I do is on my Macbook is I accept a 320 gigabyte harddrive that is abstracted into two drives area one drive is the "Macintosh HD" and the added drive is my "Data HD". And I accept the "Macintosh HD" with the Mac OS X alternating with all my added software installed on it - that is backed up as a mirror angel assimilate an alien harddrive application Carbon Copy Cloner. My "Data HD" with all my documents, music, and videos are backed up assimilate addition alien harddrive. Whatever you do, I acerb advance that you aback up your mac's centralized harddrive to an alien harddrive for aloof in case article goes wrong. You artlessly appetite to be prepared. You don't appetite to be bent extemporaneous and so that you can restore your harddrive to the way it was afore you installed any new absolutely altered software.

Anyways, Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 formed for me on my Macbook (white 13" archetypal bought in 2007) active Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. I accept a lot of software active on my Macbook including Parallels 4. You can get Parallels 4 over actuality on Amazon. If you are borderline about accepting Paragon NTFS for Mac, there's consistently Parallels that you can use to run Windows on your mac to admission NTFS drives. But for me, although I do accept Parallels and Windows on my Macbook, I additionally capital the adequacy to accept the mac to accept absolute apprehend and address admission on NTFS drives after accepting to blaze up Windows in Parallels. So from my experience, Paragon NTFS for Mac works for me beneath Snow Leopard. I've been Able to both apprehend and address to a USB Stick Drive that was formatted in NTFS and additionally a NTFS-formatted TrueCrypt aggregate on that USB stick. I was additionally Able to both apprehend and address to a USB alien drive (a Toshiba harddrive) that is formatted in NTFS and additionally a NTFS-formatted TrueCrypt aggregate on that USB alien drive. So Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 does absolutely assignment for me beneath Mac OS X 10.6_ Snow Leopard.

Now, your alternatives instead of application Paragon NTFS for Mac are to use: (1) Parallels with windows as advanced mentioned - there is additionally Fusion which is like Parallels but I accept no acquaintance with Fusion; (2) actuality annoyed with the read-only admission to NTFS drives that is congenital into Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Tiger but no absence adeptness to address to NTFS drives; (3) aggravating to about-face on the NTFS adeptness to both read/write in Snow Leopard (you'll accept to chase for this on your admired chase engine; you accept to go in Terminal and actualize a /etc/fstab book area you specify specific labels or ID's for accurate NTFS drives that you apperceive you will be using); or (4) try application the chargeless NTFS-3G driver. As for (1), I've already mentioned Parallels and that's acceptable if you appetite to achieve for that area you are additionally accomplishing aggregate you appetite in Windows. I can't allege for Boot Camp because I don't appetite to be bifold booting aback and alternating amid mac and windows. Some bodies like that, but I'd rather accept Parallels area I can accept both mac and windows on at the aforementioned time. With attention to (2), well, actuality annoyed with alone read-only admission to NTFS drives is not acceptable abundant for me. As for (3), I've approved ambience up that /etc/fstab book to specify NTFS read-write admission for assertive drives, but that didn't assignment for me. And, from what I could accept (maybe I'm wrong) that was alone acceptable for specific NTFS drives that I had to specify. I would accept re-edit that book if I were to use any added NTFS-formatted drives that were not specified. And with (4), that NTFS-3G disciplinarian seemed to be a little aloft my arch to amount out. There is a bartering adaptation of NTFS-3G, but you'll accept to analysis that yourself.

Regardless of all those added options, I anticipate the Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 disciplinarian software is added alternating advanced of anybody abroad and is aloof accessible to install and use. If you are a mac user, again the affairs are that you don't appetite to fuss too abundant with accepting to install article like this. If you are added of a windows user, again you may possibly be added absorbed to fussing about with the added options afore clearing on application Paragon NTFS for Mac. In the end, my assumption is that I anticipate you may end up installing Paragon NTFS for Mac and be annoyed with it. But to be on the safe side, you may appetite to advancement your harddrive if you are borderline about aggravating out Paragon NTFS for Mac 7. Thanks for account this review.

P.S. Additonal comment: For those who accept both Mac and PC, I would advance getting: (1) Paragon NTFS for Mac 7 for your mac (as discussed in this review); and additionally accede (2) Macdrive 8 for your PC. With Paragon NTFS for Mac, as discussed above, I can anon apprehend & address to windows NTFS-formatted drives on my macbook. And with Macdrive, I can apprehend & address to mac-formatted drives on a windows-only PC. You don't accept to get both, but I did because I capital best adaptability to be Able to admission both types of drives (NTFS-formatted drives and mac-formatted drives) on either blazon of computer whether a Mac or a windows-only PC.

For the aboriginal day, the artefact formed as advertised and i anticipation that i had gotten lucky. afterwards I backed up my files, I shut my computer bottomward for the evening. When I attempted to alpha it aback up in the morning, it would not go accomplished the gray addition awning (before the angel appears). I could apprehend it analytic but it could not barrage the OS. I was affected to reinstall Snow Leopard and absent all of the abstracts I had not backed up. Very annoying.
