Tuxera NTFS
NTFS driver developed from the popular open-source NTFS-3G driver.
Tuxera NTFS overview
Tuxera NTFS is a commercial NTFS driver developed from the popular open-source NTFS-3G driver, which is a natural part of all major Linux distributions, and also has lots of users on Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetBSD.
It has been engineered to bring our customers maximum possible performance when accessing NTFS drives while keeping their data safe. It also offers some additional features to its open source counterpart, NTFS-3G, along with commercial support.
Tuxera NTFS can be used as a full-featured evaluation version for 15 days, after which the user can unlock the software with an official license key to retain full product functionality.

Version: 2021.1
Looks like this is almost as bad as the (terrible) Paragon NTFS driver with its five levels of copy protection and inconvenience for paying users. Looks like there will be no NTFS drivers on my Macs ever again.

It's been delaying playback pretty much every few seconds, whenever I'm playing music from my NTFS drive, or watching a movie - which is incredibly annoying. Also, it takes a tremendously long time to load the folders on that drive whenever I want to browse it. And yes, it's clearly Tuxera's fault, as I've recently replaced this dysfunctional app I paid good money for with a trial version of another 'NTFS for Mac' application, and everything's been running perfectly, without any lag whatsoever. A waste of money, and the source of a lot of frustration.

So far not working. I formatted a drive using the MAC disk utility and when reattached it could not recognize the drive. Formatted using Windows and it could see and recognize the drive. However when I renamed the drive and added files to it, neither showed when drive reattached. Shame on me for not getting the trial version first. So far I just wasted money and time trying to get it to work.

Hello. I am writing a negative review about this program. I enclose screenshots of correspondence with macsupport@tuxera.com, as well as repair receipts, after installing their program.
This program erased the bootloader in the BIOS.
I had to pay an overhaul.
Tuxera is in no hurry to offset these costs.
I also suffered work losses, but I ask you to compensate for the repair of my MacBook.

Never download even the try out version of this sticky software. I made this mistake and even after deleting it keeps on asking me to delete. Terrible.

Version: 2018
As of Dec 2018, the price for one license is actually only $18 USD, not the $31 listed on this page. And all updates/upgrades free for life, AND one license covers ALL your Macs, if for personal or non-commercial use. Latest update supports Mojave.
Compare that to the Pa@#$n NTFS product price of $21 per license, ONE LICENSE PER MACHINE, plus update fees (about $15) every time Apple issues a new macOS. There are some who say the Pa@#$n NTFS is faster, I can't say; Tuxera is 'fast enough' for my purposes; YMMV. I tried the Pa@#$n NTFS product about 5 years ago, after install and reboot, my Bootcamp disappeared

Version 2016.1 is from November 2016. Not sure why it's showing up as new?

In my modest opinion this is the best application of the genre.

With the last update, there is a new application installed called Tuxera Disk Manager. This is what allows reformatting to NTFS.
When you format a drive you will need to unmount the drive before you hit the "format" button. Also, there isn't any progress bar so just be patient, it will look like it isn't doing anything, but it will finish. I tested this on a Silicon-Power 2TB external HD and an 8GB PNY flash drive.
And a huge bonus...(at least I hadn't noticed it before if it was there) it now supports formatting to ext2/3/4. Yay!

Paragon is good however I prefer Tuxera NTFS more. Waiting for its El Capitan support

From the Tuxera vs Paragon NFTS comparison (http://macntfs.com), Tuxera reveals more strengths. Just the price is still very high for simple using. They should provide more discount campaigns as Paragon does.

Without any doubt this is the best application of the genre.

Been using Tuxera for nearly 6 months and find it really stable. No nagging issues.

Prior to finding this commercial NTFS driver for OSX, I tried the free-as-in-beer driver from Seagate.com. My USB mounted and NTFS formatted Seagate HDD, however, would not be seen by the utility. No such issues with Tuxera. I got going quickly with no issues.
