Bought this on recommend from a website; I assumed it runs with Bootcamp but allows for an NTFS partition, thereby overcoming Bootcamp / Windows limitations. Also assumed it facilitates hot swapping, ie access to either drive without rebooting......
Anyone else have experience with this software?
All paragon does is provide read/write access to NTFS partitions on mac. It has nothing to do with bootcamp itself. That being said, for what it does, it does it wonderfully for me.
Like the previous poster said, it has nothing to do with Bootcamp. But FWIW I have a LaCie external drive that I must use on multiple PCs so I decided to try/buy NTFS for Mac a few days ago. So far it works perfectly. I copied all 12,000 of my iPhoto files from my iMac to the LaCie and then browsed and viewed them on the PC and had no issues. I was also pleasantly surprised buy the performance. It's a USB drive so it's limited buy that but it is more than adequate for the big file xfers I'll use it for. I think it's a great solution.
I was using the latest MaCFUSE even though I bought Paragon's when it came out and the 6.5 update has made a big difference in performance and how well it works in copying files, especially moving video and audio files back and forth.
One concern I had was whether Vista 64-bit version of NTFS would be happy (it was thankfully) but I took the precaution of using another drive as 'intermediary.'
Thumbs down on MacDrive7 7.2.2 and Vista 64-bit. Locks up Windows desktop, stays at "calculating" and it nags, alerts, messages, icon label on HFS+ volumes, so that was a poor buying decision and got uninstalled pronto.
