I can’t compare the two but I purchased Tuxera ages ago and all updates are free. Also, you just don't see Paragon until you need it, it just works. Although it is blazing fast compared to my older APFS formatted drive. The install process seemed smoother and uninstalling Tuxera caused problems with my previous Mac, it did not want to fully uninstall. I guess I am wondering whether the issue is with Paragon or Tuxera or my NTFS formatting. I am on a MBP Apple Silicon with 8gb RAM. I noticed with APFS it is very slow to load and when running the video it stutters. I was also thinking if I should just do away with NTFS and reformat my drive to APFS? Would it be faster? I need to regularly access my video files and run/edit those on the drive so I need fast access speed. Now I was wondering if this is something with Paragon or my HDD is giving up? I purchased it few months ago so it's almost brand new.

Anybody else experience anything like this? Luckily I was able to recover most of my files. The file size was intact but the video wouldn't play. Microsoft NTFS by Tuxera features hardware acceleration, patented enhancements, and advanced optimizations to ensure maximum I/O throughput and high IOPS. Recently Tuxera became very slow on my new MAC Silicon so I replaced Tuxera with Paragon NTFS and after cutting and pasting some video files from my MBP to the Seagate external HDD I noticed that quite a few of videos were corrupted. I have been using NTFS with Tuxera to read and write. I do a lot of videography and editing so my files are mostly mp4 and mov. So I have been using 4TB Seagate external HDD to back up my files.
