NTFS for Mac is a file-system driver from Paragon Software that enables macOS to read and write to NTFS-formatted external drives, USB sticks, and internal volumes. NTFS (New Technology File System) is the standard file system on Windows PCs, and without a driver like this, modern Macs can only read NTFS volumes, not modify them. Users rely on NTFS for Mac to seamlessly exchange files with Windows machines, work with cross-platform backup drives, or manage dual-boot setups. The application installs as a system extension and notification agent that runs in the background. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionNTFS for Mac has a confirmed native Apple Silicon build in active use on multiple Macs. Since this component is a system extension managed by the host NTFS for Mac driver software, you update it by updating the parent Paragon NTFS for Mac application itself. Launch the NTFS for Mac application or control panel, check for updates through its built-in update mechanism (usually Help → Check for Updates or a Settings panel), or visit Paragon Software's official website to download the latest version of the full NTFS for Mac package. The installer will replace the Intel-only components with the native build. After installation, restart your Mac if prompted; the notification agent and system extension will then run natively on Apple Silicon, delivering better performance and lower power consumption than the Rosetta-translated version.
