BuhoNTFS releases public beta enabling macOS NTFS read/write

Dr. Buho has announced the public beta of BuhoNTFS 2.0, a macOS utility that allows users to write to NTFS‑formatted external drives. The beta improves performance and stability over earlier versions and is offered to Mac users who can test the software and submit feedback in exchange for eligibility for a permanent license.

macOS can read NTFS drives but cannot write to them natively. The article explains alternative work‑arounds—such as re‑formatting the drive to exFAT or using terminal tweaks—that either erase existing data or are unsupported. BuhoNTFS provides a safer, no‑format‑required solution, preserving data while enabling full read/write access on macOS.
