Release: Tuxera NTFS for Mac and Tuxera Disk Manager version 2015.3

On March 1st we released a new stable version of Tuxera NTFS for Mac and its companion app Tuxera Disk Manager. By default OS X can only read files from Windows-formatted hard drives leaving the users unable to edit, copy or delete anything. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is a full read-write NTFS driver that enables your Mac to read and write NTFS-formatted drives. Tuxera Disk Manager is a companion application that lets you format, check and repair NTFS drives, thus overcoming the limitations caused by the System Integrity Protection (SIP) feature introduced in El Capitan. Tuxera NTFS for Mac and Tuxera Disk Manager work in the latest OS X - El Capitan - and are backwards compatible and run on all OS X versions starting from Tiger.

The new update (version 2015.3) is now available for download on our dedicated product page for Tuxera NTFS for Mac, or through the Updates tab in System Preferences > Tuxera NTFS for Mac if you are an existing customer. In the Release History page you will find a summary listing all the major changes and improvements to the driver:

Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2015 Ships with a New App to Format, Check and Repair NTFS Drives on OS X El Capitan

Helsinki, Finland – November 9th 2015 – Tuxera Inc., market leader in file systems, network storage and streaming technologies, has released Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2015 software fully compatible with the latest OS X El Capitan.

The new System Integrity Protection (SIP) feature in El Capitan prevents the use of third-party software inside Apple’s Disk Utility meaning that formatting, checking and repairing NTFS drives must be handled through a separate application. Tuxera Disk Manager ensures that these tools are easy to use and always a click away.

Tuxera NTFS for Mac 2015 allows you to access, edit, transfer, store and delete files from your NTFS drives on the latest Apple operating system.

El Capitan is out, building on top of Yosemite. Major refinements include added user-friendly features and under-hood performance boosts. Upgraded Metal, Apple's graphic processing technology, improves image rendering and resources efficiency making gaming and launching apps much faster.

What else is new? Spotlight search now offers better functionality with more sources and support for natural language input. Users can manage messages with iOS-style gestures and take control of multiple emails with a revamped set of tools. Added Smart Suggestions recognize events and names easily adding them to contacts and calendar. If you like multitasking you will love Split View.

We have a fresh Tuxera NTFS for Mac for those looking for seamless handling NTFS drives on a Mac. Apple does not support writing NTFS volumes out of the box so if you want to transfer files between Windows and Mac, edit and delete them without formatting the drive to HFS+ you will need a third party solution.
