NTFSX

Mac OS X normally does not allow you to write on NTFS formatted hard drives. Simplest way to get wirte access is manually specifying mount options for your drive in the /etc/fstab system file by using Native-NTFS. Native-NTFS of Mac OS X is not a stable one. But at least you don't have to waste your precious SSD free space by installing Third Party Driver Packages in Mega Bytes size. NTFSX will help you in easiest and cheapest way.
