Facts

Easy to Install and Uninstall Simply run the assistant scripts (install.sh and uninstall.sh scripts) to perform all the necessary operations to build the driver, install it, and deactivate and remove it from the platform.

High Performance The Paragon tool boosts your performance by opening direct access to partitions you had difficulties with accessing previously from Linux. The transfer rate is the same for native Linux file systems and, in some cases even better.

Full Access to NTFS and HFS+ Volumes Rapid and transparent read and write access to NTFS/HFS+ volumes from Linux. Use the HFS+ file system and its native journaling support for better file system integrity when transferring files between Linux PC and Mac.

Additional Utilities Microsoft NTFS for Linux by Paragon Software allows you to format any volume as NTFS or HFS+, check the formatted volumes for integrity, and fix errors.

Free Version Microsoft NTFS for Linux by Paragon Software also has a limited version that is free of charge and covers common usage scenarios. Choose the Professional version for professional features, highest performance, and premium support.

Features

new Supported Linux Kernels

• The free version of the program works with Linux kernel from 2.6.36 to 5.17.x. The Professional version supports the latest official kernels.
• New kernel support implements within 1 month after the official release.
• Automatic driver rebuild for newer supported kernels with DKMS library.

Improved HFS+ support (including compatibility with macOS Sierra HFS+) Supported HFS+ features (see also “Compatibility”):

• Full support for the native HFS+ journal.
• Full support for macOS High Sierra HFS+.

Improved support for very large volumes (16+ TB) Implementation of changes into driver and file system utilities to provide a more user-friendly behavior by default, without the need for additional options, when working with very large volumes (16 TB and larger). NTFS&HFS+ for Linux confirmed to work on 20 TB physical and 25 TB virtual volumes in the Paragon lab.

Improved TRIM/discard support for SSD storages Use the ‘discard’ mount option to enable TRIM support on the SSD storages mounted by Paragon driver to improve performance.
