Is there any way to write to a drive formated in NTFS format in OS X?

According to this, OS X NTFS support is read-only. This is probably due to patent problems, as NTFS is heavily patent encumbered (for this reason, many Linux distros include read-only drivers for NTFS out of the box, although the Captive 3G read/write drivers are invariably offered in the repos somewhere).

Use MacFUSE. Be warned that it is somewhat slow.

MacFUSE is your only bet, really.
