5. Write drive of mobile hard disk: Tuxera NTFS/Paragon NTFS.
Almost every user who uses a Mac will encounter a problem, that is, insert a USB flash drive or a mobile hard disk into a Mac computer, copy something, and find that it cannot be written.
Most partitions of the mobile hard disk are in NTFS format by default, but the macOS system only supports reading NTFS, not writing NTFS partitions, so this will happen. The solution is simple, just install NTFS driver software. Tuxera NTFS and Paragon NTFS are recommended, which are newly discovered, easy to use, easy to solve the problem of not being able to write, and save a lot of trouble.
