What’s New? Introducing Full APFS Support.
OWC MacDrive has been the industry leader for accessing Mac disks in Windows for over 25 years. With the introduction of MacDrive 11 Pro, we’re excited to bring the most complete support for Apple’s APFS file system to Windows.
MacDrive’s support for APFS is unmatched. You get more speed, features, and protection than any other solution. MacDrive provides full read and write support, APFS crash protection, multi-volume APFS disks, APFS formatting, and much, much more.
- Read and Write: MacDrive 11 is the only solution that provides full read-and-write support for APFS volumes–even if the volume has duplicated files or has been backed up by Time Machine.
- Crash Protection: MacDrive 11 provides unique data protection. Unlike other solutions, if an APFS disk is unexpectedly unplugged, existing files and data are safe, and won’t be corrupted.
- Multi-Volume Disks: APFS allows users to create multiple volumes in a single partition and share free space between volumes. Only MacDrive lets user effortlessly switch between volumes to access all of their data.
- Formatting: Don’t have a Mac, but want to share files with someone that does? MacDrive lets enables creation APFS and HFS+ volumes right on a PC.
- Snapshots: When backed up with Time Machine, macOS creates “snapshots” on APFS volumes. This lets users browse through backups even when a Time Machine backup disk isn’t available. MacDrive provides access to all snapshots, letting users restore deleted or edited files from previous states.
- Duplicated Files: In macOS, APFS files can be instantly duplicated, without consuming additional disk space. Only MacDrive provides full read-write access to duplicated files on APFS volumes.
