Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

FerryFS is a Windows utility that mounts APFS USB drives and external SSDs, including FileVault-encrypted volumes, so they appear in File Explorer.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-27 issue.

For: Windows users handling Mac-formatted external drives
Worth noticing: Writing is off by default; before the first modification, FerryFS checks free-space records and can keep a questionable volume read-only.

Field notes

After mounting, the volume appears in File Explorer for use with ordinary Windows applications; the page says the APFS volume is not converted and remains usable on the Mac. FerryFS limits mounting to USB drives and describes safeguards that leave a volume read-only if its free-space records do not add up. Its speed figures come from one stated test setup, rather than a broad device comparison.
