MacDrive Standard

Although Windows holds the lion's share when it comes to OS popularity, lots of people are also using Mac OS X, probably due to the eye-candy interface that Apple has always offered along with its products. Migrating from Windows to OS X and vice-versa can be quite troublesome at times, but not if MacDrive Standard is used.

MacDrive Standard is an application specifically created to help Windows users access their Mac-formatted drives without hassle, so it might really come in handy to those working on these two platforms at the same time.

Hard disks formatted in Mac OS X are not recognized by Windows by default, so connecting such a piece of hardware to a Windows machine can be quite tricky. But MacDrive Standard is meant to facilitate the entire process by offering powerful features alongside a clean and attractive interface.

This application relies on a clean interface which not only provides instant access to its features straight from the main window, but also offers detailed descriptions regarding each of them thus ensuring even beginners get to use the app successfully.

This way, they can access Mac disks, burn Mac CDs or DVDs, create or format Mac disks or repair a damaged one without risking losing the data it stores. Each of these operations launches a new window so that users do not need to operate within a crowded interface.

The Settings section is the place where MacDrive Standard can be disabled without uninstalling, or rendering the connected Mac disks read-only, so that unauthorized users cannot perform any changes on them.

MacDrive Standard can be quite useful if one plans to migrate from Windows to OS X, but it comes with a price. It is a trial tool, so once the evaluation period ends, a license needs to be purchased or the software has to be uninstalled.
