Mounty for NTFS macOS Sequoia/Sonoma/Ventura

When you want to write to an external hard drive on your Mac, you may find the Mac external hard drive read-only in any version of macOS or OS X, even the latest macOS Sonoma 14.

One of the reasons is that the external drive is formatted with the Windows NTFS file system and you can read the NTFS drive on Mac but can't write to NTFS on Mac.

Fortunately, with the help of a reliable NTFS for Mac App, you are able to read/write NTFS drives as you wish, and the freeware, Mounty for NTFS, is one of the most popular NTFS for Mac free software.

Can Mounty for NTFS support macOS Sonoma/Ventura?

Yes, but the installation is now a bit more complex. To make Mounty for NTFS work again on macOS Ventura and Sonoma, you need two additional pieces of software to use with Mounty 2: FUSE for macOS and NTFS-3G for Mac.

If you are not a computer expert, Mounty for NTFS is very difficult to use, so the alternative to Mounty for NTFS is your best choice.

Can Mounty for NTFS support macOS Monterey?

Yes, it can. So far, most of the NTFS for Mac programs are supporting macOS Monterey, and Mounty for NTFS is one of them.

However, many people complained that Mounty for NTFS delivered slow read/write speed and file corruption, causing data loss on NTFS external drives, even though it's totally free.
