Re: Need to Access PC data on a MAC System
OSX can read NTFS, it just can't write to NTFS. So you'll have no trouble accessing your data, but if you plan on editing anything on the external NTFS-formatted drive (or moving any files onto it) then you need the NTFS utility.
An alternative is formatting the drive as FAT32 (has a 4 GB file size limit, and a 32 GB partition size limit) or exFAT (no limit)
For occasional transfer, it might be worth it to just buy a 32 or 64 GB flash drive and format it as exFAT.
