Is there a way to access (read/write) my external HDD with NTFS file system from my iMac (10.6.5) for free ?
I know about paid solution but is there any free solution available ? (ntfs-3g seems to be paid already)

MacFuse will cover this for you - works a treat for me

NTFS-3G has both a paid and a free (as in speech as well as in beer) version. The paid version claims to incorporate all sorts of stability improvements over the free version, but I've been using the free one for some time with no problems. Although it uses FUSE technology, everything you need is in the package - you don't need to download anything else. The latest free version at time of writing is here - sometimes it's not so easy to find; after all, they'd love you to buy the paid version.
