Windows NFTS external HD on Mac

[Joe 171]

I have a new MacBook Pro, anyone know of an easy way to make Windows NFTS external hard drive compatible with Mac without formatting it? 

 

 

Thanks

Did some search recently on that and couldn't find an easy way. I ended up partitioning the HD which retained the data, created new partition and formatted in Mac.

Thanks, Gnans. I have a few hard drives that are full so wouldn't be be an option. A third party driver called

Paragon looks like an option. Anyone using/used it?

Yes, it works fine. I use Paragon NTFS for Mac.
