What do you use to enable NTFS / EXT2/3/4 Support?

OSX Fuse, Paragon, Tuxera or other and why?

Use at own risk. It isn't supported and can be unstable.

If you want to go for a paid 3rd party software, Paragon worked well for me, but that was 2-3 years ago.

I've been using Paragon for NTFS since 2010 without issues.

Same here. Install it, and forget about it.

Paragon. Mostly for two reason:

1. The free MacFuse or whatever it was called solution at the time sucked.
2. Paragon came up in a Macupdate (or similar) bundle, so I got it pretty cheap.

Pros: It works well, performance is good. They also kept sending me new license keys every time there's a major upgrade for several version.s I'm now out of free upgrades, but the version I have still work on Yosemite, so I'm happy to give them money again in the future. I've gotten 5 or so years out of this.

Paragon.... no need to do further research...

Paragon works the best in my opinion.

Tuxera since 2011. Never had a problem. At the time it was around $25 or so. Not sure what it sells for now.

ext4 support is only read only on OSX.
