[solved] My OS X drive keeps corrupting.

[RehabMan]

This is NOT solved. RehabMan has given no reason why Paragon HFS+ for Windows should not work. Please explain why that software does not work with dual booting Hackintoshes.

It comes up quite often here. Guessing... I'd say twice/month.
It appears to be extremely buggy -- don't use it.

A few people i know have used it and caused there Genuine Mac/Hack to not be able to boot due to corrupt HFS+ Partition. I personally think its garbage and id recommend anyone to stay away from it.

A simple Google Search reveals. https://www.google.co.uk/#q=Paragon+HFS++problems

I have searched before, and I have looked at several results from your version of the search. Doing this sheds little light on my experience.

I have built 5 Hackintoshes over the last eight years or so and upgraded each of them multiple times. I am a professional film animator and film editor. I need large volumes in both Mac & Windows formats to coexist in each machine and I've had few problems on four of the machines. One machine started causing corruptions on hfs+ volumes when I upgraded the Windows boot drive from 7 to 8.1. This is the only thread on the internet that I have found that comes close to replicating my problem.

I am surprised that the folks at tonymacx86 do not address this problem more clearly. (btw, I have donated...) They are easily the most helpful folks out there, and I know that many who use this resource are media professionals who need proper access to large mixed-format volumes.

We need help and a proper solution.

Since the problem comes up so regularly, just saying, "Don't use Paragon," obviously does not solve the problem.

I have seen some indications that formatting volumes in exFAT will do the trick. Can I format a whole 3 TB volume in this format, and will it playback, say, a 4k video (Apple ProRes 4444) as efficiently as NTFS & HFS+?

Thanks to anyone who can answer this question with clarity.

Problem is not with hackintosh. Problem is Paragon itself.

Advice: Don't use buggy software, especially when it comes to your file system.

There is no need to address the problem. Its just buggy software.

The problem was addressed in several posts in this thread: #4, #11, #12, #15, #16.

Your problem is you don't like the answer.

ExFat format is an possible option. Keep good/regular backups though as it's well known to corrupt easily.

Yes... exFAT has a buggy implementation in OS X... At least it used to... no idea if recent versions fix it... I avoid exFAT as well.
