Two products in one for removing OS conventions

Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X allows you to have full read/write access to any version of NTFS under Mac OS X, providing an essential gap-fill for the lack of support provided by Mac OS X for the support of NTFS, the primary file system of any Windows PC, as well as allowing you to create, delete or modify files or folders on NTFS partitions. Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X (and its HFS for Windows Read Only component), also gives you fast and easy access to HFS+/HFSX under Windows, which typically does not recognize HFS+ (the primary file system for Macintosh computers), allowing Boot Camp users working in Windows to see the contents of their Mac partitions.

Use both Mac and Windows to access all files:

NTFS for Mac OS X 8.0 allows you to completely and instantly access all Windows files and folders from your Mac with the highest possible speed. Use Paragon’s latest edition to facilitate unhampered data exchange between your PC and Mac. Access your NTFS-disks under 64-bit Snow Leopard with the highest performance possible. Paragon’s new HFS+ for Windows Read Only driver enables fast, easy and transparent access to Mac disks, files (including .pdf) from your Windows Explorer. Access, cut and post-produce video files on your Mac.
