Irvine, California USA and Nagoya, JAPAN — July 11, 2012 — Cross-platform software developer today announced that Buffalo Inc. Selected Paragon Software’s for embedding into Buffalo’s next generation of Smart Box product lines. Paragon’s NTFS for Android driver allows consumers to attach their NTFS (Windows®) formatted USB Key or Hard Drive to the Smart Box and now with Paragon’s exFAT for Android driver also included, consumers can get the full utility of the new high capacity exFAT-formatted SDXC cards in the Smart Box. “Paragon has been a strong partner for Buffalo; their first-class OEM support as well as the superior performance and features of their technology are key reasons we have chosen PSG for our Smart Box project,” said Kentaro Odaka, General Manager of Product Development Div. “ This expansion of our partnership provides the tools necessary for our customers to access and enjoy digital content on a variety of devices.” Paragon’s drivers offer superior management of file system integrity, fast mount speed, comprehensive data protection, powerful file system check and repair utilities, and strong journaling capabilities. Paragon’s proprietary replay journal feature protects a consumer’s data on a USB HDD or SDXC card when unsafely removed from a Smart Box, TV, or Monitor. Without this feature there is a high potential that the file system on their USB HDD or SDXC card could become unrecognizable to Windows and cause data loss.
“We are very excited about extending our partnership with Buffalo to include our latest Universal File System Driver (UFSD) offerings — including exFAT for Android,” said Tom Fedro, president of Paragon Software Group. “This partnership will provide the very best experience for end users as they are now able to view, modify and save content regardless of the type of storage medium utilized.” Paragon’s driver technology enables any device on the network, from tablets to smartphones to servers, PCs and workstations, regardless of their operating system, to communicate and share files. For over 10 years now, Paragon UFSD technology has been providing operating systems and embedded kernels (Android, Linux, Windows, Mac, ThreadX, VxWorks, eCos, etc.) with access to file systems (exFAT, NTFS, HFS+, Ext, etc) that normally would not be fully supported. Beyond access, Paragon’s UFSD technology provides the highest data throughput speeds possible — equivalent to, or exceeding, native performance. This is especially important for flawless recording and playback of High-Definition, Blu-ray quality movies and videos.

OS X has NEVER supported anything more than reading an NTFS formatted drive without some 3rd party tool. I had a struggle finding a NTFS read/writer that works after downloading OS X 10.11 El Capitan. This morning I found at Seagate.com a link for the Samsung drive NTFS for mac ( Paragon app downloaded as NTFSforMac14.0.456), which has worked beautifully. The link is in Portuguese but you can Google Translator it to make sure i'm not driving you to any fishing site or whatever and there's probably a version at Seagate US. Before I could find it, I had a little help from the IT guy from work who taught me how to mount the drive using the Terminal app from the utilities folder which already comes with the OS and can be found on the Applications folder.
You can open the terminal and use the command sudo su: With your portable device plugged, type: Sudo su enter your mac password./montaNTFS And Bam! Your HDD hard disk shows up at your desktop.
But it only works as read, not read/write. I hope it helps. Sorry for the non native English. Apple Footer. This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
