Tiger supports NTFS

According to Mac OS X Hints, Tiger has NTFS support, so it can finally read hard drives formatted for modern versions of Windows. I’ve wished that I had this several times over the past three years; it’s nice to know that it’s now there when I need it.

    Yup, works really well…I was using it last night to copy music over to my laptop. It’s naturally read-only support, so sadly it’s not easy to have one set of external drives that you can use on both Windows and OS X, but it’s better than nothing.

    I believe even 10.2 was able to read NTFS (but not write). 10.3 definitely can. I used it in anger once to backup a friend’s XP laptop drive before she sent it back and replaced it with a Mac ;-)
