Don't depend on their NTFS driver.
I've been using Tuxera NTFS for macOS for several years now. I think I bought the driver back when it was OS X, and a positive thing is that they honor the correct way of selling software, which is that if you bought it, you get the updates. Cool.
The bad part is that the NTFS driver will corrupt your data. Sometimes silently (you discover files suddenly being 0 bytes, and they ought to be GBs large), sometimes loudly, when you get "cannot access 'your-file': Input/output error" if you're the Terminal kinda guy like me.
The latter is better, since you can restore from backup, but only if you have one. And put the drive in a Windows machine for a chkdsk run.
Problem is, these don't happen because your computer crashes or you pull out a USB drive without unmounting it. They happen randomly. The also happen predictably if you try to copy or move files to NTFS and cancel it midway.
And, it's getting worse (or maybe more visibly?). I'm getting problems like these daily now, whereas it'd be perhaps monthly a month ago.
I'm currently moving all my date onto HFS+, and taking note not to trust ntfs on Linux either, as it's Tuxera, too.
Do. Not. Use.
