How can I read and write an ntfs drive on Mac?
Writing to NTFS is not supported by Mac natively. You have to install file system library to enable this feature. Here is one good example to let you copy files to NTFS drive on any Mac:

Let me know if you need more assistance on this.
I also encountered the problem that Mac cannot write to NTFS formatted hard disk before, which is really troublesome. Later, I used a tool called SYSGeeker NTFS for Mac. This software allows Mac to fully support reading and writing NTFS hard disks. It is very convenient and stable to use.

After installing NTFS for Mac, it is basically like handling a normal Mac formatted hard disk to operate the NTFS hard disk. You can copy and modify files at will. This solves a big problem for me because I often need to transfer large files between Windows and Mac. If you often encounter similar needs, I recommend trying this software, which should meet your needs!
Sorry, but this "solution" looks like a hidden ad.
The link suggested sends you to a webpage, which encourages you to download a "Free" software, but tells nothing that the software is trial, and it is just "Free download". Don't be fooled! This "trial" does not allow you to check its full functionality until you buy it. I need to know what I will pay for.
The software tells you the following:
NOTE:
The trial version does not allow you to read NTFS drives. Please purchase a
license key to register the program, then you can enjoy the full version without
any restrictions.
In addition, the interface is rather poor.
Guys, I prefer a commercial software, and could pay for a good one, but I don't like to be fooled.
