PARAGON SOFTWARE® INTRODUCES INDUSTRY’S HIGHEST PERFORMANCE CROSS-PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY FOR LINUX-BASED PCs AND NETWORK DEVICES – NTFS AND HFS FOR LINUX® 8.1 COMBO PRO
First Technology to Combine Full Read/Write access to both Mac OS X and Windows Files
FREIBURG, Germany, September 9, 2010 — Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, today announced the release of Paragon NTFS and HFS for Linux® 8.1 Combo Professional, the industry’s highest performance Kernel driver for NTFS and HFS+ file systems with advanced read and write operations for all types of files — including NTFS compressed files — that could be accessed and manipulated in both sequential and random orders on disk partitions of up to 25 Tb and more. Tested on Linux Kernels up to 2.6.33, NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Pro demonstrates read and write performance similar to Linux native Ext3FS with up to 80 MB/sec read/write speed and is the most advanced cross-platform technology available. Based on Paragon’s unique Universal File System Driver (UFSD) technology, NTFS and HFS for Linux 8.1 Combo Pro was developed to break barriers between non-compatible operating systems to create a seamless environment, even when encountering differences in operating systems and file types.
In addition to a 40 percent performance gain on NTFS file system (compared to the previous version), the new 8.1 edition offers full read/write support for HFS+ and HFSX, the native Mac OS file system, and allows to create and repair HFS+ volumes under most popular distributions of Linux based on latest Kernels (up to 2.6.33). It was proven that NTFS driver developed by Paragon Software Group is more robust than native Microsoft NTFS drivers — for example, Paragon’s driver is capable of handling files that are fragmented beyond limits of Microsoft’s NTFS drivers for Windows operating systems. Paragon HFS+ for Linux is the only driver that supports native HFS+ Journal, providing the highest level of reliability and performance.
“Paragon NTFS and HFS for Linux® 8.1 Combo Pro is the industry’s fastest, most stable and reliable tool for all those who want to share, back up, modify or copy large data files such as pictures, videos or any other documents between Linux and Windows or Linux and MacOS X,” commented Konstantin Komarov, CEO. "The easy-to-use format enables Linux-based PCs and network devices to have full read/write access to Windows NTFS and Mac HFS-formatted drives without having to use special commands to gain access to files of any size or type."
