FREIBURG, Germany – June 7, 2018 – Paragon Software Group, a recognized data storage expert, releases APFS for Windows by Paragon Software, a driver which enables Windows users to access Apple File System (APFS) volumes on PCs. The new edition comes with full read access and beta-mode write access to APFS-formatted partitions. With APFS for Windows by Paragon Software, users are able to instantly access and write to APFS-formatted hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), or flash drives directly on Windows PCs. The tool offers native-like file system performance and thrifty resource usage.
APFS is Apple’s new proprietary file system, which has replaced Mac OS Extended (HFS+) as the default format for SSDs and other all-flash storage arrays. Currently, there is no way to access APFS partitions with the tools provided by Apple’s Boot Camp drivers or other Windows utilities. The new edition of APFS for Windows by Paragon Software tackles this problem by enabling PC users to not only access but to write to APFS-formatted volumes from Windows.
Key features:
- New! Write access (beta mode) to APFS volumes on Windows PC;
- Read access to APFS volumes on Windows PC;
- Automount: Mounts APFS volumes automatically at startup;
- Internationalization: Supports all character sets available in your operating system.
