Hi , I'm using CS4 on 10.5.6 and my NTFS drives are not visible in the Preferences panel ( performance tab ) , only my HFS+ ones . Both NFS+ and NTFS are read/write capable ( using Paragon's Ntfs for mac 7 )
I thought if the system could see and manage them , so should PS Any tips ?
#1
Adobe applications want to see drives formatted as "Macintosh HFS+ Extended (Journaled)" and NOT case sensitive.
#2
Even with MacFuse or Paragon's tool, the read/write speed is not ideal for scratch. There is a performance hit to running read/write NTFS on Mac.
A journaled HFS drive is not needed for scratch and may be less efficient than a non-journaled drive.
#3
Paragon pretends that with the last version of their soft the ntfs speeds are close to the hfs ones , never really tested that statement though .
"A journaled HFS drive is not needed for scratch and may be less efficient than a non-journaled drive" - could you develop please ?

Journaling means that anything the drive does is first being logged in a separate area and only then will the drive do what it's been told to do. This improves reliability but who cares about that in a scratch disk? It's not like without it the drive will go kaput within 5 minutes
