These numbers are about what I get running a benchmark on a Windows machine with USB 3.0. Caveat emptor: this is moving from a 2.5GBit/s ExpressCard bottleneck on my old machine to the SSD’s internal flash bottleneck on the new one, but still – Paragon couldn’t quite saturate the ExpressCard on my old test, and now can just about saturate the SSD. But the SSD performance delta has expanded from about 40% better for Paragon to more like 75% better for Paragon. For spinning disks, the performance comparison is mostly unchanged – they’re both about the same, and performance varies ☑0MB/s on the benchmark anyway depending on the direction of the wind. Long story short: Paragon pretty much smokes Tuxera. When you upgraded your operating system to Sierra you failed to also update the third party utility. That is because your external hard drive is formatted NTFS for Windows computers and you were running a third party utility with your old operating system that allowed your Mac to use the Windows formatted drive.

Paragon NTFS for Mac High Sierra: write to NTFS drive on macOS High Sierra Posted by Juno to NTFS for Mac on November 29th, 2017 An external drive is useful only when we can both read from and write on it. Access, edit, store and transfer files hassle-free. Full read-write compatibility with NTFS-formatted drives on a Mac. Tuxera NTFS for Mac is a commercial NTFS driver developed from the popular open-source NTFS-3G driver, which is a natural part of all major Linux distributions, and also has lots of users on Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and NetBSD. I just bought a shiny new too-expensive-and-questionably-fit-for-sale MacBook Pro 2018, and the question is newly prescient.

NTFS on macOS: Paragon or Tuxera (Round Two: High Sierra!) Last year, out of necessity to figure out which tool to use, I posted a comparison of Tuxera and Paragon NTFS drivers on macOS Sierra.
