Safe to Uninstall NTFS For Mac?

[Sti-R]

I have the latest Mac OSX V 10.6.6 and I currently have NTFS for mac installed in my Macbook pro. Somewhere down the line when apple updated the OS, I have heard that NTFS is now supported. Does this mean that NTFS For Mac is now obsolete? I use an external HD with an NTFS partition that I use everyday.

You still need those NTFS-3G drivers to WRITE to NTFS formatted volumes, unless you activate SL's NTFS write capabilities.

Keep NTFS-3G. NTFS has been available in SL before 10.6.6, but many have had problems when they enable it.

NTFS (Windows NT File System)

• Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
• Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
• To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X: Install NTFS-3G for Mac OS X (free)
• Some have reported problems using Tuxera (approx 33USD).
  [*]Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard, but is not advisable, due to instability.
• AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
• Maximum file size: 16 TB
• Maximum volume size: 256TB
