But there is one thing I would like to ask ( maybe it sounds silly ).

Youre probably not like me, but if you are, you probably dont want to be using ExFAT on all of those disks, because ExFAT sucks.

So you want good performance accessing those drives, you dont want to lose all your data if a fly lands in the wrong spot in Belize, and you need readwrite access from Mac as well as Windows Sucks to be you.

But luckily, theres actually competition in this space these days.

Screw ExFAT, and HFS is right out, leaving you with NTFS, which is read-only by default in macOS.

Youve got three options to add write support: Tuxera NTFS for Mac, Paragon NTFS for Mac 14, and NTFS-3G.

It CAN be pretty reliable, and because its open-source, there are lots of eyes on it.

But leave it to the Linux crowd, where its a much more fluid experience.

Because its not based on NTFS-3G, it should be immune to some of the performance oddities of NTFS-3G, as well.

On cost, Paragon wins.

But theres a caveat Paragon charges for each upgrade, which typically bumps macOS major version compatibility.

So youll probably have to pay again each time Apple releases a new OS.

As well, Tuxera charges on the basis of one license, one person.

Paragon is one license per machine, which will add up if youve got more than one Mac you need write support for.

On this basis, Id say Tuxera wins on cost, though it looks more expensive.

For 9, Id rather get free upgrades and one license for all my personal machines.

I have two NTFS externals I primarily need support for, one of which is a Samsung SSD T3, and one of which is a Western Digital spinning disk.

My Late 2011 Macbook Pro doesnt have built-in USB3.0 support, so for the USB3 tests, Im using a USB3 ExpressCard34 adapter.

That matters for the SSD in particular, which can max the bus.

For the numbers, Im using BlackMagics speed test from the App Store.

On the other, I really prefer Tuxeras licensing, and itll be somewhat rare that Im using this machine for performance-intensive stuff on the one drive I have where it matters.

Otherwise, Tuxeras licensing is better, and performance as good as matters for anything else.

Took me like ages to unmount my drive.
