Any way to make my Mac write + read to NTFS drives ?

[Sossity]

I read on another response that there is a hack for this, I also notice paragon make ntfs for mac, is it any good?

I ask because there is a coupon for it that is good until 10-31-2011.

is the hack easy to install? & does it work? is it free?

I am on a mid 2010 i7 macbook pro running snowleopard 10.6.8

I've not use Paragon NTFS for Mac: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac
But I've come to trust Paragon quite a bit -- all of their backup and migration software is excellent, Mac or Windows.
If I wanted a reliable NTFS system, I'd use that.

Another competitor is this: http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac/
Not use that one, either.

Please share it.

This is the free NTFS-Mounter: http://ntfsmounter.com

I don't suggest it. I tried it, and it acted quirky. When you don't want your data corrupted, quirky isn't good.
It's free, but that doesn't really matter much to me.
