Reading HFS+ on Windows 7, anyone?

[William_Robinette]

Hey all,

Is anyone using software to read Apple Mac formatted drives on their Windows 7 box? Any good or bad ones to side with? And are transfer speeds the same as a native drive or no?

Thanks!

I've been using HFSExplorer (freeware) with success. It doesn't allow you to "read" from the drive, but rather view the contents of the Mac drive and from there extract it to your Windows drive. Extract speeds through USB have been at the high end. For me, it works well in getting content from my Apple-oriented school to my Windows-oriented workspace.

Macdrive works great, at least on 32 bit systems... never tested it on a 64 bit system though.

Macdrive works perfectly on my 64 bit Windows system.

Another vote for MacDrive. I have it working perfectly on my 64 bit system. Paragon also makes software for Windows to read and write HFS+, as well as the opposite: Mac software to write NTFS disks.
