In Reply to: If I switch from PC to Mac, will my external drives work? posted by SamA on June 5, 2012 at 05:30:54:
There are third party drivers that will allow your Mac to access your NTFS drives seamlessly. The name brands are NTFS-3G (aka Tuxera) and Paragon. They cost around $20 - $30 as I recall. Once installed they are totally transparent to the user. But I agree with Abe and others: If you are going to switch to Mac, find a way to temporarily relocate your files and reformat your drives to OSX Extended.
. . . in theory, practice and theory are the same; in practice, they are different . . .
