Before you get too excited it is read only.

Probably prudent - would not trust any implementation except native ones in Windows that does writes.

well, you should. write support for NTFS is supported by quite a few tools, now, including the Linux Kernel.

And I've had the new linux NTFS driver corrupt files more than once.

In fact, it just corrupted the partition table of my external backup drive this year. Which was last time I trusted it for anything but read-only mounting.

and on the flip side I have been doing r/w to NTFS from linux for yeeeeears with never an issue.

And I have had /windows/ corrupt NTFS volumes.

Personal anecdotes rock :D

I've used it extensively on multiple machines and have had no problems. ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

Why is this even an answer? ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯

It have corrupted my drive several times.
