Paragon Ntfs Serial V14 Car
The price is right, but I ran into several difficulties with this order: * The version shipped was V6.0, not V6.5 as listed on Amazon. * The current version of this product is V7.0 so even V6.5 is out of date. * After installing the software on my Mac, I was told that the serial number on the CD case was 'invalid' despite my efforts to enter it exactly as printed the first time, and without the hyphens the second time. To return the software I had to call Amazon.it was not possible to complete the normal Web-based return form on amazon.com. (I don't know if this process is required for all software purchases, or just for this particular product.).

The use I had intended is fairly straight forward. I have a Western Digital 'My Book' hard drive on which I store photographic files. It contains two 500 GB drives that I have set up in a RAID configuration for redundant back up. I initially used this drive with a Windows XP laptop. Accordingly it was formatted as a NTFS drive. My purchase of NTFS for Mac OS X was for the purpose of using this drive with an iMac.

I wanted to have the capability of writing and reading files to/from this drive with my iMac. So far it has worked perfectly for my intended purpose. [Apologies for the long review -- this is not normal for me, but it is an extraordinary situation when my rock-solid Mac is rendered unusable. Note: I do not work for Apple and have no personal financial interest whatsoever in the company.] So, I purchased 'Paragon NTFS for Mac OS X 6.0' to share video files between my XP machine and Mac Mini G4 running Tiger.
The FAT32 file system was not a viable option, particularly because of its file size limit. Paragon's software seemed to be just what I needed, and the Mini was compliant with the indicated system requirements. It's too bad that I never got beyond the installation process with this program.
When I received the software, I popped in the CD and tried to follow the included manual. Unfortunately, the manual was a bit out of date (or was just poorly written/edited), so its information did not match up well with the content on the Paragon website, which made for a clunky registration process. Full disclosure: I am reasonably competent at Linux sysadmin and am an experienced programmer in several languages, so I'm very comfortable with manuals and man pages. With Paragon NTFS, I found the registration process to be unnecessarily complicated for a fairly obscure and inexpensive piece of software (i.e., low piracy potential). After a couple of failed attempts, I figured out how to get the software registered, in spite of the poor documentation.
Hint: I should not have to go to forums and such to search for clues on how to install commercial software. It is the company's responsibility to provide that information so that paying customers are not forced to google on it. After that odyssey, I proceeded through the rest of the installer windows and got to the 'Click Restart to finish installing the software' point.
I did not want to reboot right then because I had some unfinished processes running. After those processes terminated, I clicked 'Restart.' I did not remove the disc, as there was no indication that this was necessary.
The Mini never came back up. It posted, then the CD spun up and there was a lot of activity from the optical drive, but the login screen never appeared. The OS was stuck at the blue screen that appears just before the login screen is supposed to come up, and the little gray dial just spun and spun. Eventually, the Mini powered off (it probably got too hot under all of that load). It then became an adventure in trying to figure out how to remove the CD (hold mouse button at startup) and see if there's any way to boot the Mini. No go with the OS DVD.
It wouldn't even boot in safe mode. Unfortunately, I did not have a bootable disk image either, so I ended up going to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store the following day. They ended up doing an Archive & Install to revive the OS, and the Mini was back in business in short order. They also advised me to look at Macfuse and NTFS-3g, which do exactly what I need and are freely available. Worked like a charm and both packages were easy enough to install that a novice should be able to get the job done. I am not planning to waste any more time with Paragon's NTFS product, chalking up the $25 loss as an educational expense. Vendors who provide poor support (and documentation is part of support) will not be getting my business.
Macfuse and NTFS-3g are free and there is usable documentation for these programs, so it's not a get-what-you-pay-for situation at all. The Genius Bar staff deserve a lot of credit. They provided excellent free service for the out-of-warranty Mini, and that reminded me why I bought a Mac in the first place. Yes, I paid the Apple Tax when I bought the Mini, but I think that was a worthwhile expenditure and will do it again in the future. If anyone at Paragon has an explanation as to why its software borked Tiger on the Mini, please comment on this review and I will take that into consideration.
I am not going to bother trying to get Paragon's software to work if there's any chance that I will end up with a broken OS and the associated waste of time. For word processing and spreadsheets I am familiar with and very much like Microsoft's Word and Excel but for video editing I tried several programs for Windows and hated everyone of them. (There has to be a special place in hell for the creators of Sony's Vegas.) So I tried a Mac running its included iMovie and iDVD and I am much happier. I do not care much for Mac's Pages and Numbers perhaps because I am so familiar with Microsoft's business products. Anyway, I thought it would be a good idea if my various documents and videos could be shared somehow between my Mac and Wintel computers' external hard drives so I bought this Paragon Product.
First off I seem to have bought at the tail end of their old version and Paragon wanted more money almost immediately for an upgrade. Mobilesyncbrowser Crackle. Second I never was clear where I was suppose to mount this program - on the Mac or the Wintel computer. Third after a few phone calls to a very polite person at Paragon I still couldn't figure out the product and gave up. My Mac and Wintel still don't share. I bought the 7.0 version in the hopes of sharing a 500gb RAID drive between my XP and Mac systems.
After installing Paragon, the drive mounted fine and seemed to be operational. I had a FCP project with about 40gb of files on the drive. Before getting to work I decided to organize things a little, moving a folder with 20gb of QT movies into a different folder. I got a 'this operation could not be completed because the files could not be found' error.
The folder with the 20gb of movies then disappeared. Luckily, I have this backed up, unfortunately I'm working remotely which means I now have to have someone overnight me the 20gbs worth of files that have ceased to exist. While this product might work fine for a drive you're using to transfer files, where you can afford to have it occasionally spontaneously delete files, I have zero faith in it for day to day use. Use at your own risk.
