What's the best NTFS for Mac software for Apple Silicon Device?
If you're willing to experiment with the file system format, you can also format the drive as exFAT, which is easier to read and write to on both Windows and macOS.
If you still insist on using NTFS, you can try modifying /etc/fstab by following these steps (however, this method may be less stable and more complicated)
1. In the terminal, type: sudo nano /etc/fstab
2. Add: LABEL=hard drive name none ntfs rw,auto,nobrowse
3. Save and exit (Ctrl + O, then Ctrl + X)
4. Reboot your computer
In addition, using a third-party software program is a much more secure solution, especially if you often need to manipulate NTFS hard drives. I've been using Donemax NTFS for Mac, which is relatively easy to use and not too expensive. It smoothly supports reading and writing to NTFS-formatted hard disks on a Mac, eliminating the need to manually modify system settings.
