Free Paragon Driver for macOS, What Is It?

This driver provides write access for Seagate external drives in Mac OS without having to reformat. http://www.seagate.com/support/downloads/item/ntfs-driver-for-mac-os-master-dl/ Anybody know anything about it? Not sure what they mean. "write access for seagate" I want write access for MS NTFS drives. I'm leaning towards ntfs3g but saw this in my searches.
