Read ext4 drive from MacOS Sonoma?

Thanks...there was another Paragon site I saw (although it could have been a download-specific site of some kind) that seemed to specifically call out Sequoia but no other...and at least one review I saw seemed claimed that Sonoma was problematic. But if you found what you found, I guess I can always take issue with them if it doesn't prove to be true. Thanks Diala.

Yes, I just now sent them an email. They mention "up through Sequoia" and "compatible with M1.M2.M3," but that almost suggests that they might not support the Intel-based Macs. So I've asked them about that and will probably have to wait a few days to hear back.

Issuing "diskutil list" in a terminal does show the drive, which tells me the HW can detect it. So I'm hoping that Paragon's utility will work on my machine and will be able to navigate the drive's TOC and file structure...but I will still wait for Paragon to confirm before buying.

Thanks again for your thoughts on this. I'm surely not the first to have wrestled with this, but throughout my engr career I was always a HW guy, and so I do prefer to seek out and use any easy packaged-up solutions the software crowd has come up with for such issues...rather than pretending I know enough to code something up that works and doesn't lose data...because I don't. : )

Yes, trying the 10-day trial now. Seems a bit obtuse...the "verify" feature seemed to complete (evidently verified the file structure of the whole 2TB), but then actually navigating that file structure...well I can't see where (or if) it is made available to me. Not sure the volume is actually mounted...working on it... : ) Sure hope it works because it'd be a pretty convenient backup capability for when NAS boxes fail at the system level.
