An HFS+ volume consists of 9 main structures:

1. Boot Blocks are found in sectors 0 and 1 and are identical to the boot blocks found in HFS.

2. Volume Header is found in sector 2 and is the equivalent to the Master Directory Block in an HFS volume. It stores data about the volume, including the size of allocation blocks, timestamps and the locations of other volume structures such as the Catalog File or Extent Overflow File. It is always found in the same place.

3. Allocation File keeps track of which bocks are free and which blocks are in use. Like in the Volume Bitmap in HFS, each allocation block is represented by one bit. A zero bit means the block is free, while a one bit indicates towards a block in use. The Allocation File differs from the HFS Volume Bitmap by being stored as a regular file, not occupying a special reserved space at the beginning of the volume. It can also change in size and does not have to be stored contiguously within a volume.

4. Catalog File is a B-tree containing records for all the files and directories stored in the volume, comparable to the HFS Catalog file. Their main difference is that records with HFS+ are larger to allow more fields and allow these fields to be larger. This is seen in the size of the HFS+ Catalog File being 4 KB in Mac OS and 8 KB in Mac OS X, as opposed to the HFS Catalog File, being only 512 bytes in size. Fields in HFS+ also vary depending on the data they store, unlike HFS where the fields are fixed.

5. Extents Overflow File is a B-tree that records the allocation blocks that are allocated to each file as extents. Each file in the Catalog File record can record up to eight extents for each fork of a file; additional extents are recorded in the Extents Overflow File. Bad blocks are also recorded as extents here. The default sizes for this file are 1 KB in Mac OS and 4 KB in Mac OS X.

6. Attributes File is a B-tree only found in HFS+. It can store three types of 4 KB records: Inline Data Attribute records, Fork Data Attribute records and ExtensionAttribute records. Their purposes are listed in the table below.

7. Startup File is designed for non-Mac OS systems without HFS or HFS+ support; comparable to the HFS volume Boot Blocks.

8. Alternate Volume Header is found in the second last sector of an HFS+ volume and is the equivalent of the HFS Alternate Master Directory Block.

9. Last sector is reserved for use by Apple during the computer manufacturing process.

The following is a table of each of the Attribute File records:

HFS+ with Mac OS 8.0 and earlier

If a Mac OS Extended format volume is connected to a computer running Mac OS 8.0 or earlier, the files will not be visible or accessible, but will still exist. There will be a single document accessible, explaining that the files on the disk are present but inaccessible. Mac OS Extended format volume format volumes can, however, be seen on a computer running Mac OS 8.0 or earlier if the HFS+ file is shared on a network by a computer running Mac OS 8.1 or later.

• Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software is a great upgrade to an exceptional cross-platform utility that’s easily worth the money, especially if you own the previous version 14, in which case this one’s free.
  The user interface is tastefully designed, with buttons for mounting, unmounting, verifying, or erasing the selected volume. Dual-boot users also have the option to reboot into a compatible mounted Mac or Windows startup volume. There’s even a lovely color-coded space indicator like the one introduced with Mac OS X El Capitan, displaying content by Audio, Video, Apps, Images, and Other categories.

• A very specialized product that does its job in a very unobtrusive way. You just install it and it works. When you plug an NTFS disk into your Mac, it just mounts on the desktop like any other disk, and when you copy a file to it, it just works, no muss, no fuss. This utility is also invaluable if you find yourself in a situation where you need to format a disk as NTFS, and it performs this task with an equal lack of drama

• It is pretty fast with NTFS transfers (slightly slower than OSX extended partitions obviously) and I’ve never had any problems mid-transfer or anything. For me, it’s always done what it said on the box, and now with V14 it’s got El Capitan compatibility, so no complaints here. If you’re looking for a way to have plug-and-play NTFS drives on your mac, there really isn’t a better alternative to Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software. Highly recommended for all Mac users!

• If you have a Mac and you need to access volumes that are formatted NTFS, this is the best solution out there. Why Apple hasn’t just baked in support for NTFS after all these years still remains a mystery. I’ve been using Microsoft NTFS for Mac by Paragon Software for several years now and have never had any problems with it.
