NTFS support for Mac I am long time windows user with who just started using Mac. All my external drives(1 &amp; 2tb 2.5 portable drive ) are formatted in NTFS. But I found that my mac cannot read or write on that. So, where are my questions:


How can I make my mac read/write the files in an NTFS partition?
I have a new 1tb 2.5 drive that I bought to use as time machine. What is the best format for that?


FYI: I am using a 10.10.3 Macbook Pro Retina 13" Late 2013
You want to use NTFS for Mac. I had to use this a few months ago to access an external drive (from a Windows user) that I had to work with.

For the hard drive that will be used for your Time Machine, that needs to be Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
