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!
