[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1200445, member: 38864"] Yah, I would hope it'd work better. The problem in my mind with some open source type software is that you have to reverse engineer tech and devise work-arounds for procedures that others have patents for. I have no doubt that NTFS-3G suffers as a result of this (it is well-known to be very slow at the least), but the commercial version should be another matter entirely. Their page says they've licensed the NTFS tech from Microsoft for the commercial driver, work together with them, blah blah etc etc. I would think that in having direct access to the owner of NTFS, that it'd work as well as possible. Still, if it did work perfect and was bug-free, there'd be no need for updates and bug fixes, and I'm a few point updates behind the current version. :Oops: [/QUOTE]
