Once it\u2019s installed, my NTFS drives behave like normal Mac drives \u2014 I can read, write, edit, and delete files directly in Finder.<\/p>\n<p>What I like about it in a nutshell:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Full read &amp; write access to NTFS drives<\/li>\n<li>Fast transfers for big files like videos and backups<\/li>\n<li>Runs quietly in the background, no extra steps every
