Those with a certain amount of Mac experience have more or less heard of Tuxera NTFS For Mac. This is a Mac software that can help read and write NTFS format disks, convert disk formats, verify and repair disks, and manage disks.
All in all, it is a very useful and practical tool for Mac system. The editor below uses a tutorial to explain in detail how to properly use Tuxera NTFS For Mac software.
First open the main interface of the software, as shown in Figure 1 below, the left side is the Mac system disk list, including virtual disks, local disks and external disks, and the right side is the specific information and software utilities of the selected disk, including disks Verification, repair, and format conversion.
The "Unmount" button at the bottom left of Figure 1 above can be used to mount or unmount the disk. When the disk has been mounted, this button is displayed as "Unmount", and when the disk is not mounted, the button is displayed as "Mount" , As shown in Figure 2.
At this time, select a disk on the left, and the detailed information of the selected disk can be displayed from the "Info" item on the right, as shown in Figure 3. The total space and remaining space of the disk are displayed under the disk name, and the file system format, disk identification code, whether it is a complete device, whether it can be moved, file prompt, whether it can be unmounted, and the preferred block are displayed at the bottom of the right interface. Size in bytes.
The second item Format can convert the format of the disk, where File System is the disk format to be converted, Volume name is the name of the disk, and the format of the disk can be converted using Tuxera NTFS For Mac software is shown in the red box in Figure 4 below.
1. The first and last are in NTFS format, which is a format that Windows supports to read and write, but does not support read and write on Mac;
2. The second and third are APFS format, which is a format supported by the Mac system for reading and writing. The so-called case sensitivity here refers to whether the at.txt and AT.txt files are different files on the Mac system. , Generally need to select case-sensitive;
3. The fourth is exFAT format, which is an upgraded format of FAT32. It supports both Mac system and Windows system to read and write. Generally, this format needs to be selected on external disks. It is a very important format. The disadvantage is that it cannot be used for lower versions of Windows. The system is compatible, such as the Windows XP system, but it is compatible with 7 and above, as long as it is not a particularly old computer system.
4. The fifth to eighth is the Mac OS extended format. The difference lies in whether the log function is supported and whether it is case-sensitive. After the log function is supported here, the system startup, software installation and failures will be saved as log files, but they will be occupied disk space.
5. Finally, the ninth to the twelfth are in MS-DOS format, which supports the DOS command line operating system. It is a kind of file system in the early days of computer systems, and it is very rarely used now.
The last item to be introduced is the "Maintenance" item, which is used to verify the disk and disk repair, as shown in Figure 5 below. The "Check" button at the bottom is used for disk verification and check, and the "Repair" button is used for disk error repair. Stupid operation, very simple.
